German Federation for Arts and Cultural Education
Fifty-four organisations and federal associations active in arts and cultural education for children and young people in Germany have joined forces in the German Federation for Arts and Cultural Education (BKJ) to work towards a common goal: the promotion and advancement of in-school and out-of-school arts and cultural education.
Their specialised knowledge and experience in the cultural education sector enable them to make an important contribution to successful representation of young people, education and culture policy interests and to a diversification of cultural education for children and young people on both national and international levels. Each year more than ten million young people take part in the seminars, projects, competitions and events organised by BKJ member organisations. These activities cover all areas of culture such as visual art, music, drama, theatre, circus, dance, literature, photography, film, video, and multimedia.
The main tasks of the German Federation for Arts and Cultural Education are:
- representation of young people, education and culture policy interests on national, European and international level;
- participating in international networks and extending European and international exchanges;
- exchange of information and ideas relating to all issues of arts and cultural education;
- organisation of conferences;
- publication of educational materials, case studies, concepts and best practice;
- development of pilot projects;
- conceptual development of arts and cultural education to promote the aims of cultural diversity and sustainable development.
