GNO’s Learning & Participation Department has been shortlisted for the Education Prize of Fedora

Co-OPERAtive: An intercultural and collaborative opera hub for young people designed by GNO’s Learning & Participation Department has been shortlisted for the Education Prize of Fedora, the European Platform supporting innovation in Opera, Ballet and Education. Co-OPERAtive is an opera hub for a mixed group of 60 young Athenians and unaccompanied minor asylum seekers aged 15-17 across Attica. This project will be implemented in partnership with ARSIS and The HOME Project.
This project is inspired by the ability of opera – as a universal art form that encompasses all art forms – to function as a common language for creating the first intercultural youth opera hub in Europe. Inspired by its dreams and aspirations, this project aims to create as its artistic output, the first intercultural and collaborative opera created by a youth opera company. Co-OPERAtive will be contesting with a plethora of other education projects around Europe and its implementation that is scheduled to begin in January 2020.
