Barnim receives 1.5 million euros for culture and citizen participation!

In the district of Barnim there is reason to be happy: On June 18, 2025, it was announced that the project "Land.Buten - Diverse Life" was included in the federal funding project "Aller.Land". This initiative, which was launched in December 2024, aims to strengthen culture, participation and democracy in the region. Barnim will thus receive a funding amount of a whopping 1.5 million euros, which is to be used for various projects over the next five years, as [barnim-aktuell.de] (https://barnim-aktuell.de/amt-britz-chorin- or

The special thing about this project is the broad participation of the population. Numerous actors such as clubs, cultural locations, craftsmen and entrepreneurs are involved in the concept development. The goal is clear: improve the networking of the region, secure local structures and intensify the contact between people.

diverse events in planning

The planned events include a hiking thematic annual festival and an annual specialist day. But also creative formats such as artist workshops, podcasts about life stories and cooking events are also on the agenda. These events should not only promote exchange, but also create a stable network structure beyond the borders of the Britz-Chorin-Oderberg office.

The project fulfills the funding objectives of "Aller.Land", a nationwide program that aims to strengthen the cohesion in rural regions and to promote democracy through citizen participation. Minister of Culture Wolfram Weimer and his team presented a total of 30 of these regional cultural projects in Berlin. What matters? Commitment and networking. This has contributed significantly to the selection of the funded projects by the specialist juries, such as barnim.de confirmed.

a sign of the future

The commitment in the Barnim district shows how important cultural initiatives are for the community. The cooperation between local artists, clubs and the population can create new encounter places and creative projects. Community projects in villages and regional music festivals are also planned, which will ensure a breath of fresh air in the region.

In a joint step, the eyes are particularly aimed at the maintenance and conversion of empty buildings, which are to be transformed into encounters in the future. These initiatives should not only strengthen society, but also make an active contribution to the redesign of rural areas. The upcoming funding period runs from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030 and thus offers a long period of time for the measures that will take place under the umbrella of "Aller.Land".

Barnim is on the best way to become a lighthouse project for rural cultural funding. The commitment of the citizens once again shows how important communal exchange is and that a lot more is possible. An exciting chapter is just around the corner, and it remains to be seen what the future brings.
