Grant - Youth Culture Impulse

During and after corona, young people had to miss many cultural activities. The State wants to ensure that young people participate in cultural activities more often again. The municipality has received money for this purpose. With this money we want to support projects and places that help young people develop creatively. 

In 2023, 2024 and 2025, the municipality subsidizes cultural projects for, by and with young people. €502,400 is available for this purpose.

Do you also want to organize something for young people? Like making a cool place, organizing a youth festival or doing something with subcultures or urban arts? Then apply for this grant.
