Jonge Harten

Jonge Harten is a nine-day festival for young people filled with theater, performance, dance, workshops and more in Groningen. At Jonge Harten, theater makers set the agenda. Not politicians, scientists or multinationals, as happens in so many other places. Together they give their view of the future. But the future cannot be shaped without young people; after all, they are the future. That's why at Jonge Harten you, as a young person, are invited to see yourself as the creator of your own life and make your voice heard.

The theme of Jonge Harten 2023 is 'stay with the trouble'. An invitation to you to pause at times when things are difficult or challenging. To stop thinking immediately in terms of solutions, but rather to examine what you are experiencing. In this way you will see that movement will start automatically and you will see possibilities you had not thought of at first.
