Young creatives from Germany and Moldova are invited to apply for the audio storytelling lab ‘Common Futures’. The programme takes place both online and in-person from May - September 2023. Online, participants will receive mentoring and conduct group project work. During two offline exchanges in Berlin and Chișinău, participants will rethink existing structures and places, speculate about the futures of urban spaces and co-create site-specific audio projects.
What will our cities look like in future? How can our places of living become more inclusive and youth-friendly? How can we deal with the state of uncertainty? How can we use design and art to create cities of the future? These questions become the core theme of the audio lab that aims at empowering young creatives to exchange on these topics and engage in creating a shared vision for their districts and cities.
The programme is open to creative practitioners, designers, artists, youth workers, activists, writers, musicians, architects and performers interested in exploring cities with storytelling tools, sound design and speculative thinking methods.
Young people aged 20-35 from Germany and Moldova can apply. Participation is free of charge. The programme covers expenses during offline exchanges (travel costs, food, accommodation) and offers mini-grants for project realisation.
