.lkj) Landesvereinigung kulturelle Kinder- und Jugendbildung Sachsen-Anhalt e. V.

The .lkj) Sachsen-Anhalt is the umbrella and specialist association for cultural children’s and youth education in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. As a non-profit, statewide recognized independent youth welfare organization, it unites clubs and associations involved in children’s and youth cultural work. It offers consulting and service provisions, organizes voluntary services in the fields of culture and education, and initiates projects as well as competitions such as the Children’s and Youth Culture Prize. The .lkj) is a member of the Federal Association for Cultural Children’s and Youth Education (BKJ) and advocates for sustainable, diverse, and participatory cultural offerings for young people.

The .lkj) Sachsen-Anhalt sees itself as a driving force for the cultural participation of young people. Our goal is to strengthen cultural education through networking, consultation, and project funding. We act sustainably, promote diversity, take responsibility, and enable participation on an equal footing. In this way, we create spaces where children and young people can develop their creative potential and experience themselves as active creators of their living environment.

The offerings of .lkj) Sachsen-Anhalt are aimed at all stakeholders in cultural children’s and youth education in Saxony-Anhalt: cultural practitioners, cultural educators, associations, federations, and municipal institutions. We also support young people aged 16 to 27 who wish to engage in a voluntary social year (FSJ Kultur) or a federal volunteer service in culture and education (BFD Kultur und Bildung).
