We accompany and initiate projects and workshops with photo-enthusiastic participants up to the age of 25. The results are presented at the NEXT! Festival.

At the NEXT! Festival the stage belongs to the young producers!

The contributions for the 2023 festival were developed by: Pupils from the Adolph Kolping Hauptschule in Kalk together with the TREFFER youth centre, pupils from the Holweide Comprehensive School from the AMA Jr. project, young people from the Realschule Im Hasental in Deutz, as well as a class from the Katharina-Henoth-Gesamtschule in Kalk, and the camera children from the jfc media centre.

The medium is the message: photography can do so much! Come along and join in!
