The open stage workshop is a pre-event to the Opera Aperta Livestreams. It acts as a platform for a vivid and progressive format of reflection and discussion. The open space workshop will be moderated and will apply methods from “the art of hosting” in a “bar-camp” framework. The participants are invited to discuss the topic “Art, Education and Democracy“ with experts from inter- and trans-disciplinary fields (stakeholders, artists, scientists, curators, and organisers). Curated questions from the discussion will fuel the Opera Aperta Livestream in the evening.  Besides that, the outcomes of the discussion will also be published in a dossier of the Wiener Zeitung.
