Experiences of success
Young Culture is youth work driven by the power of art and culture. Through this open, nationwide activity, both young people and those working with young people can enhance their work, network, and experience success.
About Young Culture
Young Culture is an organization dedicated to supporting young people through cultural activities and events. It focuses on helping youth grow, become independent, and feel included in society by harnessing the power of art and culture. The activities aren’t limited to one place or group but involve many young people in various ways.
History and Management
Young Culture has been organizing these activities since 1970, with funding from the Ministry of Education and Culture. The Finnish Youth Association manages the program.
Our main activities
An annual festival held across different cities in Finland, in collaboration with various partners. It’s a multidisciplinary event where young people from all over Finland participate both as attendees and organizers.
These grants support performance and study trips abroad.
A platform where young people can discuss art and cultural topics with decision-makers, professionals, media, and others. The discussions are planned and led by the youth themselves.
Events
Nuori Kulttuuri Festivaali
The festival provides performance opportunities for enthusiasts from various art disciplines. In Nuori Kulttuuri activities, we adhere to the principles of a safer space, which also establish the foundation for safe performances: We encourage and applaud, not criticize, and judge!
Nuori Kulttuuri Talks
Illuminating the thoughts of young people about the world of art hobbies, as self-constructed discussion events by young people shed light on the mental landscapes of young people both online and in person.
Services
