Creative – Metropolitan Festival of Youth Cultures

The Creative – Metropolitan Festival of Youth Cultures is an initiative promoted by the Metropolitan City of Naples, in collaboration with the Fondazione Teatro San Carlo, the Osservatorio Giovani of the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Naples Federico II, and the Officine San Carlo. The festival aims to create a dynamic platform that connects young talents, cultural enterprises, and institutions, with the goal of building an inclusive and innovative cultural ecosystem. The festival's activities include training workshops, networking events, masterclasses with leading professionals from the cultural and creative industry, and dedicated spaces for young artists' performances. Among the proposed workshops, the Creative Lab Start Up stands out, an intensive course focused on business culture and design thinking, designed to equip participants with key skills to develop innovative solutions in the cultural and creative sector.
