FLAGSHIP PROGRAMMES
Open call: Collective Imagination workshop
Thematic area: Youth and education
Language: English
17 April at the World Culture Museum in Gothenburg
Civil society organisations in Sweden are navigating increasing social fragmentation, generational divides, and declining trust in democratic processes. While dialogue initiatives are common, they do not always lead to shared ownership or concrete action. At the same time, youth engagement is often limited to consultation rather than genuine co-creation.
The Collective Imagination workshop responds to this need by offering a structured and transferable participatory framework that strengthens democratic facilitation and youth-engaged decision-making.
Friday 17 April at 09 - 15.
Världskulturmuseet, GöteborgLanguage: English
Free participation.

The workshop is specifically designed for civil society practitioners and dialogue facilitators who design and lead participatory initiatives, particularly those involving youth engagement. The training strengthens the professional competence of those who shape dialogue and decision-making structures within their organisations.
