Brandenburgische Landeszentrale für politische Bildung

The Brandenburg State Center for Political Education is the central institution for extracurricular political education for youth and adults in the state of Brandenburg. It is located in Potsdam at the main train station (Building 17, Heinrich-Mann-Allee 107). It belongs to the portfolio of the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and supports citizens as well as independent organizations through consultation, publications, exhibitions, events, and the promotion of projects that strengthen political education locally.

No one can be compelled to participate in political education. The State Center adheres to the guidelines of the Beutelsbach Consensus and is committed to voluntariness, self-efficacy, nonpartisanship, citizen-oriented communication, and democracy education. It invites all interested parties to engage in the democratic society in a self-determined and informed manner, to discuss different perspectives, and to understand and promote the constitutional order of the State of Brandenburg.

Funding programs and educational offerings are aimed at clubs of all kinds, non-governmental and non-profit organizations, as well as recognized continuing education institutions that conduct political adult education events in the state of Brandenburg. Individual projects such as seminars, exhibitions, eyewitness events, workshops, conferences, and artistic projects are supported, provided they address contemporary political issues, promote historical awareness, contribute to extremism prevention, and encourage civic engagement.
