Youth Cultural Education and Inclusive Participation in Berlin
Youth Culture is a project of Berlin Mondiale under the "
" initiative
We work with young people, artists, and cultural institutions in Berlin—at decentralized locations and on relationships that extend beyond individual projects.
Our goal is to provide all young people in Berlin with access to opportunities for artistic participation.
What does that mean?
Due to systemic factors, cultural education is rarely sustainable. Projects are launched, relationships grow, and then funding runs out. What remains depends on whether someone secures funding for the next project.We believe it can be different. That cultural institutions, artists, local supporting structures, and neighborhood initiatives can work together as equal partners—thereby creating new synergies, equitable access to cultural participation, and sustainable momentum for the development of cultural infrastructure.Jugend Kultur works to establish this foundation: in artistic practice with young people, in collaboration with artists, scholars, and urban developers, and in advising institutions that wish to structurally transform their cultural education and outreach work.
What We Do
Consulting
We support cultural institutions looking to expand their outreach efforts by helping them develop strategies that work within their specific context. This includes conceptual planning, building partnerships with local stakeholders, and exploring how outreach work can be institutionalized—regardless of the next grant application.
Practice
Together with artists, neighborhood experts, local organizations, initiatives, and citywide cultural institutions, we develop artistic processes for and with young people—over a period of time that allows for collaboration. What emerges from this process belongs to those involved: as an experience, as a work of art, as a relationship.
Do Tank
Our practical experience and consulting work generate insights—into what works, what doesn’t, and why. At Do Tank, we make this knowledge accessible: to colleagues in the field, to organizations grappling with similar questions, and to foster a broader conversation about how cultural education can have a structural impact.
