We firmly believe that art is a powerful vehicle for educational and social development, and that access to culture from an early age is a fundamental right. Arts education has played an essential role in cultural democratisation and equal opportunities. That is why, once again this year, in collaboration with inspiring artists and educators, Dream City 2025 offered young people aged 6 to 16 the opportunity to experience a unique artistic adventure through our arts and cultural education programmes. These programmes, specially designed for young audiences, included workshops, meetings with artists and guided tours. Young participants had the opportunity to discover a selection of works with mediation tailored to their age group.
