Ignite Talk

A few years ago, De Krook Library launched participatory projects for youth, fostering creativity and critical thinking. In 2024, the ‘Soul in Power’ project focused on mental well-being in young people. Join this Ignite Talk to hear young participants’ testimonies and get inspired on how to enhance youth engagement. Let’s build a network of libraries prioritizing participatory practices with youth for a richer library community!
