Here you can find some questions and issues on which cultural observatories and researchers would like to reflect with you. This might be something totally new for you, or on the contrary you might have discussed about this with your friends, parents, teachers or colleagues… it doesn’t matter: answer, pose new questions, be provocative if you like, and share share share… Dialogue is always fruitful and all contributions and opinions are more than welcome!!
The discussion developed on this blog will be the starting point for one of the workshops of Thinking pot in Torino (September, 2010). This will help researchers to have a clearer look on contemporary culture, and policy makers to define new youth cultural policy lines which might suit better to your tastes, needs and wishes.
It’s YOUR TIME to make your voice heard!!
