SHIFT NOW - Your future festival

25.06.2025 - At "SHIFT NOW - Your Future Festival" on September 2, 2025 , young people will come together with future-oriented training companies from Lower Saxony in Hanover to discover what opportunities the future holds for them.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Logo Shift Now

SHIFT NOW is a new, supra-regional format that aims to reach young people throughout Lower Saxony. An innovative format in the form of a future festival that offers young people holistic career guidance. It helps them to discover, plan and actively shape their own future.

Career guidance can and should be fun! Through festival and conference elements, we create a new format that invites young people to participate, try things out and linger.

WHAT ELSE DOES SHIFT NOW OFFER?

Preparations for the festival will start in May with a roadshow. This will give up to 70 schools throughout Lower Saxony an introduction to the festival and topics such as sustainable apprenticeships and self-efficacy. Various formats such as talks and workshops on the topics of future careers, environmental protection and sustainability, self-efficacy and fears of the future as well as democracy and diversity will take place on the day of the festival. There will also be many different activities and music that are part of a good festival. In addition to the practical career stations and workshops at the festival itself, the project offers preparatory and follow-up teaching material for teachers.

A digital follow-up event will take place after the festival.

TARGET GROUP

Young people aged 16 to 21

Participation opportunities for interested training companies

Companies have the opportunity to take part in the festival free of charge. Instead of a traditional trade fair appearance, SHIFT NOW focuses on career-related workshops, career trails and hands-on activities by trainees for young people.
