Moving moers meets WESTWIND

It is not only due to Ruhr 2010, the area `s year as European Capital of Culture, that cultural events by and for children and young people have such a close-knit network in Moers. Once a year, organisers of children `s and youth programmes combine their efforts for the weeklong initiative moving moers - junge Kunst bewegt die Stadt (moving moers - Young Art Moves the City) by the Moers Office of Culture.

In 2017, moving moers meets WESTWIND: From 19.06 to 23.06.2017, a freight container located in the Schlosspark gardens will become the "Future Barracks". There, children and teenagers from Moers can show what they `ve got and express themselves: through texts, dance, beat boxing, music, audio plays ...
The Future Barracks can be regarded as a forum where young artists from Moers can get together, present their "works of art" to other Moers residents and WESTWIND visitors and meet the guest artists invited to the festival.

Moving moers meets WESTWIND is a joint event by the Moers Office of Culture, the Moers Library, the open youth centre "Die Box", Bollwerk 107, the youth centre Zoff and the Rock It Team.
