Annual Cultural Partner for the project Schule:Kultur,
The aim is for culture to become a living principle of learning and a shaping element throughout the entire school routine, thus influencing the teaching of all subjects. Neither topics nor categories are prescribed. Schools and cultural partners can thus become architects of their own developmental process. For the long-term integration of the two systems, culture and education, each collaboration develops an overall concept for their cooperation and the joint activities of cultural education.
