Support for the Rosa Luxemburg Initiative – the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Bremen (Project/Educational Work in Bremen)

The funding provided by the Rosa Luxemburg Initiative in Bremen supports non-profit organizations, educational institutions, associations, self-organized groups, as well as interested private individuals in the implementation of innovative projects in political education and civic engagement. With a particular focus on migration, media education, critique of capitalism, antimilitarism, and accessibility, this grant program in Bremen creates spaces for participatory formats, migrant self-organization, and reflective discourses on democratic cohesion. A continuously open application process enables diverse initiatives to respond flexibly to current local needs and to establish long-term working structures. Through its local presence in Bremen, the initiative promotes sustainable networks between civil society actors and education experts from academia, culture, and social work.

For a successful application, a meaningful cover letter, a detailed project description, and a transparent financing plan are required. The project must be based in Bremen and thematically related to political education or civic engagement. Selection is based on the criteria of “political educational content,” “relevance to the target group,” and “practical feasibility in Bremen.” Since applications can be submitted year-round, smaller groups also have the opportunity to test concepts early and apply for funds for materials, fees, or room rentals. Close support during the reporting and accounting process provides a reliable framework that contributes to successful, impactful projects within the Bremen metropolitan area.
