Funding of the Foundation of the Beda Institute for European Cultural Education

The foundation of the Beda Institute for European Cultural Education in Rhineland-Palatinate continuously offers private individuals the opportunity to realize artistic projects and cross-border cultural education initiatives for children and youth with and without disabilities. The focus is on music, dance, visual and performing arts, as well as the transmission of Western-Christian cultural values in a united Europe. As a grant program, the foundation supports creative endeavors and practice-oriented teaching formats that playfully combine inclusion and integration, providing young people access to aesthetic experience and European education. Applications can be submitted at any time, allowing for flexible support of spontaneous project ideas and long-term educational formats.

Projects that enable inclusive coexistence and make Europe tangible as a shared cultural space are funded. Children and youth from diverse social and health backgrounds thus receive a platform for artistic development and intercultural encounter. The foundation acts as a mentor and facilitator by creating networking opportunities with other cultural institutions and providing professional impulses for project-related further training. All grants flow directly into fulfilling the foundation’s purpose. Interested parties can find detailed information on funding criteria and application procedures on the official website of the funding institution.
