During this festival, the festival’s youth council will curate a seminar program based on the theme “Rebels”. They have chosen to center the seminar around “involuntary rebels”, focusing on people with disabilities, minority background and LBGTQI+. People who become rebels because of who they are, and who raise their voices on behalf of other people. What does it mean to be a rebel without a choice in our society? Youth from selected schools are invited to a roundtable discussion on themes in connection with this - mental health issues, racism and representation. The discussion will be moderated by the members of the youth council.
