FEDORA - World Youth Skills Day

Platform Members, Roadshow

Join us in celebrating World Youth Skills Day, focusing this year on “Peace and Development”!

Development and peace in the world of opera and dance means empowering young artists with the necessary skills to succeed, fostering cross-cultural collaboration, and creating inclusive opportunities that bridge divides and promote mutual understanding.

On this occasion, we are happy to highlight some of the local roadshows organised by our platform members, that highlight the importance of youth inclusion in their visibility campaigns.
