CultureLab places artists in social institutions that work with children and teenagers outside school settings. For example, the education programme includes open youth work, half-way houses, and residential projects for people who have been displaced or are unhoused, as well as institutions offering in-patient care and partial hospitalisation measures for young people. This brings the young people face to face with culture and art. The artists undertake creative activities with them, encouraging them to try things out and take new steps. It is a process that equips them to deal with their emotions and experiences, which in turn reinforces their resilience and self-determination. CultureLab promotes cultural and social participation, offering a range of activities that focus on dance, fine art, music, theatre, digital media, and language/creative writing. Participation is free of charge, both for the institutions and for the children and teenagers.
