Cultural backpack Mönchengladbach: Creative opportunities for kids 2025!

in Mönchengladbach in 2025 is all about creativity. The extensive program of the cultural backpack, which has been promoted by the country for twelve years, has children and adolescents between the ages of 10 and 14 immerse themselves in the fascinating world of cultural education. From pots to dance to the creation of their own video games - the project ideas seem almost endless.

With over 70,000 euros annually, the country not only supports proven formats, but also encourages new, innovative approaches. The Stadtsparkasse also contributes to the financial implementation of these creative projects, which are free of charge for the young participants. Birte Wehmeier, deputy head of the cultural office, is based on a clear focus on diversity: "We want to invite tried and tested actors, promote participation and also offer new partners a platform," she says.

The registration options are wide. Irina Pauli, the coordinator for the cultural backpack, emphasizes the relevance of individual ideas: "Whether institution or artist, we look forward to receiving creative concepts." The programs as part of the cultural backpack are not only an opportunity for the children to train their talents in different disciplines, but also enable artists and institutions to actively present themselves in the city.

If you are interested in a new request, you should definitely find out in good time on the cultural office's website, where the funding conditions can also be found in addition to the application form. Advice from the cultural office is recommended to facilitate the application. The application window for new projects runs until October 31, 2024.

The city of Mönchengladbach is proud to not only promote creativity with projects such as the cultural backpack, but also to intensify intercultural exchange among the participants. Every year it is shown anew how diverse cultural education can be and what importance it has for the development of young people. An example of successful projects are the graffiti workshops that take place under the direction of Cole Blaq. These workshops are just one of many offers that were very well received last season.

The Kulturpack Initiative also illustrates the importance of creative expression for children and adolescents and offers them a valuable platform to discover their own interests and talents. The initiative creates a beneficial environment in which the potential of young people can develop.
