The Youth Forum is an integral part of Sarajevo Fest, which brings together young artists, students and cultural workers from the region and beyond, creating a space for the exchange of experiences, ideas and visions of contemporary theatre. Through workshops, discussions and meetings with local, regional and international artists and producers who are guests at the festival, the Youth Forum functions as a living platform for professional development and networking of the new generation that shapes the future of performing arts. This year, the Youth Forum will be held as part of the 8th edition of Sarajevo Fest, from 1 to 6 September 2026.
