Following a successful first edition of De Jonge Lichting, recruitment for De Jonge Lichting \u201926-'27 will begin in September. For the four-year collaboration between Stedelijk Museum Alkmaar, the Frans Hals Museum, and the Amsterdam Museum, De Jonge Lichting will spend a school year searching for ways to connect the stories of young people with the museum collections. This autumn, the three museums will each select a new group of young people with whom they will work to make the three institutions even more meaningful for this target audience.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Four-year collaboration
<\/strong>The Young Generation is a four-year collaboration between Stedelijk Museum
Alkmaar, the Frans Hals Museum, and the Amsterdam Museum, with the aim of making museums more relevant to young people in North Holland. It is a platform for 16- to 26-year-olds who want to make their voices heard within the museum world. The museums offer participants an environment where they can experiment, collaborate, and grow. The young people take charge of their creative process; the museums provide expertise and guidance.

Recruitment is starting<\/strong>
The three museums are now starting to recruit the second cohort, with per
Seven young people are hired by the museum. They meet weekly to develop creative products that resonate with their own lives, such as exhibitions, events, and performances, under guidance. This gives them the opportunity to discover their talents, network, and connect with peers, experts, and cultural organizations. Additionally, they act as ambassadors, advisors, and sparring partners.

Sign up<\/strong>
Interested young people can apply using this form. They will receive an invitation to the selection days by September 14th at the latest. The selection days are scheduled for the second half of September at each of the three museums. For their work, the young people will receive aCAO-compliant compensation. For questions, young people can contact Floortje Portegen at\u00a0floortje@museumalkmaar.nl<\/a>\u00a0This project is made possible by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.<\/em><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
