Deadline: November 21, 2022

Applications are open for the Kulturweit-Tandem Programme 2023.

Together you develop projects against racism, which you can implement in theatres, museums and schools, in associations, initiatives or in companies in Germany.

The programme consists of a two-month, everyday language course, a four-week seminar in Kenya and a three-month project phase in Germany. All participants are financially supported and pedagogically accompanied. With kulturweit-tandem, you are committed to a world without discrimination. You gain international experience, let your creativity run wild in the project phase and establish a network with which you can get involved for a long time to come.
