Cultural organisations can receive a subsidy for a Culture Coach. 

What is a Culture Coach?

A Culture Coach works for the cultural organisation itself and for the city. The Culture Coach is committed to getting more residents to participate in cultural activities and works on cultural education. To this end, the Culture Coach works together with various organizations from all over the city. 

The Culture Coach:

  • Develops cultural offerings that suit the different neighborhoods.
  • Improves cooperation between amateur organisation(s) and professional organisations, within and outside the cultural sector.
  • Enables talent development for young people.
