An intercultural opera hub for a mixed group of 30 young Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 14-18 from across Attica.
The Co-OPERAtive programme, awarded with the Fedora Education Prize 2019, is an intercultural opera hub for a mixed group of young Athenians and unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors aged 14-18 from across Attica. It is inspired by opera, which serves as a common language for the creation of the first intercultural opera hub for young people in Europe. Co-OPERAtive’s goal is to expand opera’s impact and make it more known to the younger audiences, while bringing out cultural diversity and social cohesion.
