Art for everyone: 33 exciting projects promote creative education in schools!

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 20, 2024, Federal Minister Werner Kogler gave as part of the funding program "Art is great!" known that 33 new projects for cultural education will be implemented in schools in the coming year. This program, which was advertised again in September 2024, is intended to offer students aged 10 to 14 years the opportunity to actively participate in art and culture, regardless of their social origin. The 33 most innovative projects were selected from 182 applications submitted, each of which receives up to 30,000 euros in financial support. The entire budget for the second tender is 600,000 euros, such as ots.at

creative projects for students

The selected projects include a wide range of artistic activities and are realized in cooperation with school classes across Austria. Among other things, photo and film workshops, AI-based sound worlds, participatory building culture projects, as well as media art and illustrations are planned. The managing director of OEAD, Jakob Calice, was positive about these developments and emphasized the enriching cooperation between art, culture and education.

In addition, OEAD offers a comprehensive project database that provides exciting examples of cultural school projects. This database supports schools in finding new impulses in class and establishing cooperation with artists and cultural institutions. The projects collected promote topics such as democracy and society and offer an insight into the diverse possibilities of cultural mediation in schools.
