NAKS 2024 Side Program

The NAKS 2024 side program amplifies the voices of young viewers, creating bridges between fresh experiences, memories, and dreams. Like the entire festival, it encourages participation across all age groups, fostering an environment where impressions, thoughts, and feelings can be freely shared.

This vibrant side program includes playful reflections after perfromances, thematic discussions, workshops, and a mini-conference focused on children's and youth culture. These events run alongside the main program, offering opportunities for deeper engagement.

During reflections, theater artists and the audience come together to share immediate experiences, while workshops allow participants to explore themselves and the world through movement and creation. Often held after performances, these activities extend the impact of what has been seen, providing support in processing and understanding the experience.

The thematic discussions delve into topics where theater, the young audience, and society intersect. While these discussions are primarily geared towards adult festival visitors, younger participants are also warmly welcomed.

At the mini-conference, young people will engage in dialogue with their peers about the nature, characteristics, and challenges of sustainability. They will explore the values and mindsets that drive us forward, considering how ancestral cultures can thrive in the future.

Most side program events are free.
