Beyond Boundaries: The Waterdrop Young Curators Initiative
Project Manager, The Waterdrop Project
Abstract:
The Waterdrop is a collaborative project initiated by Kópavogur Municipality, bringing together four cultural institutions from the Nordic and Baltic regions. At its heart, the project empowers children to become curators — designing exhibitions and leading creative workshops that blend the timeless themes of Nordic children’s literature with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Through creativity and participation, nearly 5,000 children have engaged with global challenges over the course of 3.5 years, supported by €450,000 in European cultural grants — demonstrating the power of giving young people a platform for artistic expression and social impact.
