HOST OF THE YEAR

This year's host at RE:ACT Festival is the one and only Alexander Engel aka Affiliated rapper Silhouette!

[.lightbox] SOCIETY LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] In C:NTact's lab, participants work with loneliness as a theme. Loneliness can be expressed in the individual, but also on a family, societal or cultural level. There is no one type of loneliness, and therefore no one way to show or express loneliness. In the Society Lab, participants get to work closely with two of C:NTACT's instructors who set the framework for young people to express their thoughts and reflections on loneliness, while reflecting on what they themselves can do to alleviate loneliness. There is an opportunity to work with the personal narrative through rap, storytelling, poetry, song or pictures. [.lightbox]

Along with C:NTACT's instructors help put into words the theme of 'loneliness' through rap, storytelling, poetry, song and imagery in the Society Lab. [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] HUMAN RIGHTS LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] At the Human Rights Lab, there is a sharp focus on human rights, freedom and equality. Together with the Institute for Human Rights, participants ask the questions: What does freedom and equality mean to you? Do we have problems in Denmark or is everyone free with equal opportunities? What issues do you experience? And what does it take to move towards a more free and equal society? At the lab, participants work with dialogue, reflection, writing and performance exercises to jointly create a human rights manifesto, which is recorded in a video booth. The manifesto can be rapped, read out, spoken word, or pronounced in short punchlines or in bullet form. The manifesto aims to convey human rights dilemmas and challenges from a youth perspective that reflects the changes that have taken place since the UN adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, where neither social media, identity politics nor digital footsports were on the radar.

[.lightbox] POETIC JUSTICE LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] We have been working on it since 2020 CISU-supported project Pieces for Palestine, which will also be present at the RE:ACT festival. Poetic Justice Lab is a workshop based on storytelling and protest graffiti to promote citizenship and put Palestine in the spotlight. The Poetic Justice Lab believes that creative forms of expression can help illuminate the complex situation and history linked to Palestine, and participants learn to ask sharply the question of the role of the international community in the conflict. In the workshop, participants will get a nuanced picture of Palestine today and an entrance to contribute to positive change through creative formats such as urban art, poetry slam, spoken word and rap.

[.lightbox] CLIMATE LAB [.lightbox]

[.lightbox] The Climate Lab theme, which Inter-People Cooperation stands for, is climate justice. Our world is entering a global climate crisis with devastating effects already being felt across the globe. Floods, wildfires, droughts and violent weather are sending millions of people fleeing. Climate change has historically been driven by the world's richest and most privileged people, but it is the young, the poor and the most vulnerable who are hardest hit by the climate crisis, both in Denmark and around the world. The climate crisis reinforces all the inequality between people we already know. The young generation have grown up with the climate crisis and have to deal with it for the rest of their lives. This can lead to climate anxiety. At the same time, young people are largely excluded from both local and global decision-making processes. At Climate Lab, participants learn about the climate crisis, injustice and activism, and join the front lines of the youth climate rebellion. Together, participants work their way from climate fear to hope and action through storytelling, humor and movement. The purpose of Climate Lab is to create climate policy protest through a simple choreography and a series of climate slogans that can be used for climate activism - both at RE:ACT and in the future.

ABOUT YOUTH ISLAND

Ungdomön is located in the middle of the Øresund, just a 30-minute boat ride from Nyhavn. The island of youth is the island of all young people! Here you can go exploring with the wind in your hair, jump in the sea, sleep in a shelter or get lost in the long dark corridors of the historic Middelgrundfort.

With views of Copenhagen, Flakfortet, the Øresund Bridge, the wind farm, Sweden and whatever else passes by, there is a free framework to create and turn good ideas into realities.
