Do you work with young people or know someone who does?

Kafésynk Academy is a week of immersion in dance, music and stage production for young people aged 14–23.

Kafésynk Academy is financed with funds from the Culture Council, Sparebankstiftelsen, and Bergesenstiftelsen, which cover fees for artists and instructors.

The aim of the youth project is to inspire and create positive experiences with dance, music and stage production. Skilled professional artists have therefore been selected to be the young people’s instructors and group leaders throughout the week. The timetable is laid out so that the young people can participate in several or all of the workshops during the week.

All young people (from all over Oslo and the surrounding area) can sign up for free. Karoline Nordby, artists and partners are very keen to create this arena as a low-threshold offer.

Quite special for this workshop is that the Tango-Punk band El Cachivache from Argentina will be in Oslo all week to work with the course participants.
