On 29–30 July, 350 delegates from across the European Union will meet in Göteborg for the culture and media conference “Promoting a Creative Generation – children and young people in the new culture and media landscape”. In the context of the Year of Creativity and Innovation, the delegates will discuss the creativity and cultural habits of children and young people. The aim of the conference is to promote the exchange of experience and provide knowledge on how public investments can help to ensure that children and young people’s right to culture in all forms is guaranteed.

The conference will be opened jointly by Swedish Minister for Culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth and the European Commission Director-General for Education, Training, Culture and Youth Odile Quintin.
