“Young” in the Atelier’s title refers first of all to the festival managers being “young in the festival business”. Participants represent a broad diversity of cultural and professional backgrounds – from students in arts management to young managers working for large established organisations to emerging curators running their own innovative international festivals. They all share the desire to implement excellent artistic festivals.

“We are very glad that Poznań was the place for creative exchanges of ideas and experiences of the next generation of young arts professionals in 2014. We are convinced that the meetings, lectures and discussions result in interesting projects based on intercultural dialogue and interdisciplinary exchanges which is very much needed.”
