POK25 is 2 days longer and fuller this year!
POK25 is more than just a music camp – it is an opportunity for young people to experience the work and challenges of a real symphony orchestra, and this year, for the first time, with additional choir singers in a major vocal-instrumental production. It functions as a campus where young musicians and singers connect through various activities in an open creative spirit, living together for 10 days, rehearsing, socialising, and creating lifelong memories – all leading up to the grand performance at Križanke. As part of this year’s project, young participants will also take part in thematic education for the first time. In preparation for the 80th anniversary of the United Nations, they will explore the workings of this important institution and the current challenges of the international community from the perspective of children and youth.

This Year’s Programme: The Peace Child Musical
This year’s POK25 – Peace Child Week is part of a broader international cultural initiative, SIT DOWN, which provides young people with a platform to express their opinions, visions, and demands for the future through art.
At the heart of this initiative is the Peace Child Musical, which, through music and theatre, reflects young people’s vision of a peaceful and sustainable world. It is a story of collaboration, peace, and the power of youth who use their creativity to unite the world. In an imaginary world divided by conflict, children find the courage to break divisions and inspire communities towards reconciliation. This year’s POK25 – Peace Child Week brings an even greater musical and theatrical dimension. For the first time, the symphony orchestra will be joined by a choir, which, together with soloists and actors, will stage a powerful musical-theatrical spectacle. As part of the project, young participants will also take part in a programme where they will learn about the work of the United Nations and explore current challenges facing the international community.
Everything will culminate in a grand concert at Križanke, where art will meet diplomacy, creating a space for intergenerational dialogue.
