Hybrid, Low-Threshold, and Cross-Generational

The format of the young old series targets curious, eager learners and combines in-person attendance with digital access. This is where the unique appeal lies: The topic of the Beatles is not treated in a museum-like manner, but as a living authority of modernity, a memory of cultural departure, and an invitation to reflect together.
