Member of the Bundestag Elisabeth Kaiser from the SPD emphasizes the importance of such initiatives and emphasizes that it is important to create places for encounters and a lively democracy. As they determine, cultural offers are also of great importance away from the big cities such as Jena or Erfurt.

This project aims to promote cultural formats in rural areas. Activities such as exhibitions, workshops and mobile meeting points are planned to actively integrate the citizens. Altenburger Land is now one of the 30 nationwide selected projects that are promoted by the program of all. The federal funds come from a well -filled pot of a total of 69.4 million euros that are available for the program by 2030.

culture as a location factor

The importance of cultural offers for the quality of life in villages and communities cannot be assessed highly enough. A diverse range of culture not only increases the attractiveness of rural regions, but also has a positive effect on local care, medical care and traffic conditions. Cultural activities are an indispensable part of rural development, as well as the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) underlines in its initiatives on land culture. This measure, which has existed since 2017, has the goal of strengthening cultural participation and making rural spaces more alive.

Another funded project from Thuringia that receives support as part of the all.Land program is the "Kulturbogen Art Lab" in the Wartburg district. Both projects are proof that committed co -finance of ten percent by local municipalities also benefits rural areas, and that you can adapt to an exciting cultural future that is shaped throughout Citizens' Participation.

A look into the future

With more than 900 project sketches submitted in the past in the past in the context of similar programs, it can be stated that there is a great interest in cultural initiatives in rural regions. From theater performances to workshops in visual arts to local festivals - the variety of ideas is impressive and shows that there is a lot of creative potential in these regions.

The knowledge from the funded projects should also serve as a valuable basis for the development of future cultural initiatives in other rural areas, as the BMEL plans. This makes it clear that the "Stadt.Land.Kult (o) ur" is not only intended as a single project, but as part of a comprehensive plan to strengthen rural regions. So it remains to be seen how the Altenburger Land will develop through the funding! Further information on the program and its destinations are available on the website
