The next re:generation conference will take place on 14 November 2025 at the Hartmannfabrik in Chemnitz (Fabrikstraße 11). Registration via Eventbrite or by email to teamgeneration@chemnitz2025.de
Team Generation and numerous project partners have been working on generation-specific cultural projects since 2022. On 14 November 2025, a review will be held at the Hartmannfabrik: What experiences have the participants gathered in recent years? How can these impulses be carried into the future? Was Chemnitz able to incorporate its special role as a pioneer in demographic change into the European Capital of Culture year programme?
Team Generation will be exploring these topics together with project partners and interested visitors at the third edition of the re:generation conference. The focus will be on a review of the Chemnitz2025 Generation programme and a discussion of what impetus it can provide for the future of the cultural region. The event will be accompanied by keynote speeches, panel discussions and an open dialogue.
Registration via Eventbrite or by email to teamgeneration@chemnitz2025.de.
The second re:generation conference took place in Chemnitz from 26 to 27 October 2024. the 2024 event focused on urban development, the intergenerational participation of young and old and the Team Generation programme announcement for Chemnitz 2025. Scientists presented current research findings. Experts and partners discussed the narratives and concepts of Team Generation in various panels and workshops.
Re:generation is an interdisciplinary platform that makes it possible to explore the many facets of the topic of generation. How does co-operation between young and old influence the development of a city? What tasks and challenges do we face? What role do culture and art play in this process?
