Pannonian reunion / Cross-border cooperation among Youth cultural organisation on EU border

This joint project is the first step towards finding partners and developing a long-term cultural and artistic collaboration between the organizations dealing with youth and culture in the region of Pannonian valley. This conference will give the opportunity for young people to express their views, ideas, achievements, accomplished projects. By presenting it to participants from other organisations and discussing their ideas we hope to find a mutual ground on how to expand the work they have been doing - in order to expand it from a local level to national - and to develop cross-border projects. At the end of the conference we hope to discuss joint project proposals and future cooperation possibilities with the participants of this conference. The aim is to create a pool of such organizations that would be able to create application for different IPA programs in the future. We will use a Open space method to secure best possible results. The activity will happen in in Subotica in cooperation with organization "Youth and Eco life" and other partner organizations. Photos from the prep-meeting in Subotica can be found here.

River//Cities - Flows of Identity (2010)

Kulturanova, in cooperation with its eight partner organisations, is currently implementing a project for the promotion and organisational development of the River//Cities platform named River//Cities Flows of Identity financed through the European Cultural Foundation (www.eurocult.org). The development of this platform is going very well – the indicators set for the actions undertaken so far, have been repeatedly exceeded. The estimated total number of people accessing the webpage www.river-cities.net is repeated every month since February 2010. The number of participants at meetings, especially at the conference in Gdansk, largely exceeded our expectations. We also managed to treble the pre-estimated number of new partners. At the moment, the number of member organisations registered for the River//Cities Platform is 26, with good chances for gaining new members in the coming weeks.

"A different time" film, ARTklinika, Novi Sad, 2006. Words from the author Ana Lagator: Film "A different time" represents a timeline about some of the most important places for youth gathering in Novi Sad. It is a story about places that were used by young people to develop their creative side, to learn, exchange knowledge, ideas and socialize. The film covers an important period from the 60s to the mid 90s. How important were "Tribina mladih", "Dvadesetčetvorka" and "Žuta kuća" for the young people of that time and why are these places no longer present?
