Federal funds for Thuringia: Cultural projects promote community and creativity!

In the heart of the cultural promotion of Thuringia, a lot is happening: two remarkable cultural initiatives from the Altenburger Land and the Wartburg district can enjoy considerable federal money. These projects are all about cultural participation and aim to strengthen social cohesion. As the Süddeutsche Zeitung Project for the “Aller.Land” program, which has a total of 30 regional projects.

In the next five years, the projects "Stadt.Land.Kult (o) Ur - democratically on the road" and "Kulturbogen Art Lab - Creative Meeting Points" will be supported with around 1.5 million euros. You benefit not only from federal funds, but also from co -financing by the Free State of Thuringia and a share of the district of 10%. This is a real profit for local cultural work, which deserves a lot of attention in view of the challenges in rural regions.

innovative approaches in cultural work

The project "Stadt.Land.Kult (o) ur" pursues the goal of bringing mobile cultural formats to rural areas and creating new rooms for participation. With the mobile "political" and the "Altenburger Tisch" there are two central elements that promote the dialogue between different generations and social groups. Creativity is also very important here: cultural hubs are to be created that include residences for artists, workshops and a regional cultural fund. The Thuringian educational website emphasizes that this also includes underrepresented groups, such as young people or new ones.

The "Kulturbogen Art Lab", on the other hand, uses vacant rooms as temporary art laboratories in which interactive workshops and collaborative art projects can be carried out. An annual cultural festival is intended to make the creative diversity of the Wartburg district visible and help promote the exchange between different age groups and cultures. As the Allland-program , these cultural initiatives aim to invite people to participate and shape and react actively to the challenges on site.

an example of social commitment

The funding from the federal government of up to 69.4 million euros by 2030 underlines the importance of such projects that people bring together and strengthen the community. The projects are not only innovative and fresh, but also shaped by an important basic idea: they create spaces for encounters that can be developed and organized by the citizens themselves. The principle of common design is in the foreground here.

summarized, the current developments in Thuringia's cultural support show that a lot of positive things can be achieved with a good concept and the appropriate support. The coming years should therefore remain exciting when it comes to what grew from these initiatives and how they will shape rural areas.
