ABOUT MELKWEG YOUNG CREATIVES
We are eager to learn from the experiences of creative young people – who are innovators and offer a fresh look on society. We’re open to the perspectives and vision of young (Amsterdam) makers – to stay on top of our game, to broaden our perspectives, to re-evaluate our opinions, to exchange ideas and to make space. In this way, we create a place where everyone feels welcome, represented and heard.

We are happy to contribute to learning curve of these young creatives. That is why we offer in-house learning trajectories, in collaboration with the various Amsterdam districts. Tailor-made training programmes, peer-to-peer learning and coaching aimed at professional development offer young makers at all levels the opportunity to further develop, test their ideas and get acquainted with a wide range of culture. This collaboration can provide all kinds of benefits – not only for the young makers themselves, but also to the Melkweg and the entire sector.

Young Creatives is supported by 'het Cultuurfonds'.
