For 2018, the theme proposed for OGR YOU (Young Adults) was TELLING AND STORYTELLING.

The participants, a group of 15 young adults age in between 18/20 years (literary fans, writers, creative talents, bloggers, YouTubers, videomakers, Instagrammers, music, new technologies, visual and live arts fans, etc.) selected through an open call for application, were asked to tell their individual stories, and life at OGR, in a personal tone, in order to empower their critical, narrative and language skills.

8 visiting professors, national and international, were invited to meet OGR YOU Club, for a series of closed-door workshops, and to meet OGR Public Program’s audience for a cycle of 8 public lecture:

Roberto Fassone
Angelo Plessas
Ambra Pittoni e Paul-Flavien Enriquez-Sarano
Slavs&Tatars
Gernot Wieland
Eva e Franco Mattes
Invernomuto
Adelita Husni-Bey 

Video recordings of past lectures are available on Fondazione Arte CRT's YouTube channel.

At the end of the program, the OGR YOU participants designed and organized a five-day festival at OGR, Binario 2, titled THE BIG BREAK, with open mic nights, film debates, rap and rock concerts, performances, projections of videos and photos, stand-up comedy, DJ set, speed-dating and much more.
