Further Informations
In this section you will find all the programmes which have been introduced by the Federal Cultural Foundation.
They reflect and convey the cultural dimension of social developments, for example, the cultural aspects of German unification or the challenges and opportunities of a sustainable lifestyle (Culture of Sustainability/Überlebenskunst, Will We Save the Earth?). Under the heading “Cultural Education”, we present a number of cultural education programmes (Culture Agents for Creative Schools, Home Game, Dance Partners Fund).
Other programmes focus on efforts to conserve and safeguard our cultural heritage (KUR Programme, Dance Heritage Fund), cooperation between the independent scene and established dance companies and theatres (Doppelpass) and collaboration between German and foreign theatres (Wanderlust – International Theatre Partnership Fund).
The International Museum Fellowship programme supports German museums which desire to more intensively collaborate with foreign museums and develop a stronger international orientation for presenting and conveying knowledge.
