Young
Curators

We invite children from an open call, across the Nordic region to become co-curators on projects and exhibitions uniting classic Nordic children’s literature, UN Development Goals and environmental issues. 

In the Water drop, children are in charge.

What does it mean to have "children in charge"?

For the Water Drop Culture Project, it means directly involving children in the creation of cultural programming in the partner museums by inviting children to have a say and voice their opinion. To do this we have developed the Young Curators initiative, which invites Nordic children aged 8-15 to co-curate and develop series of exhibitions and festivals. Their task is to take charge in a new way of thinking about contemporary social challenges like environmentalism, gender equality and diversity in connection with Nordic classic literature.
