Aspen Young Leaders Program

Aspen Institute Central Europe and Meltingpot Forum/Colours of Ostrava Festival share the same values, similar audiences and promote ideas that contribute to the development of our society. Because of their shared values, we have opened this special Call for Applications.

Experience the speakers of the discussion forum meltingpot through their personal audio-visual messages. The project voices of meltingpot crosses the boundaries of time, location, and themes.

A magical place full of iron and mysterious alleys
