Kulturfonds Frankfurt Rheinmain: 35 projects for creative youth promotion!

In the heart of the Rhine-Main region, there is gratifying news from the world of cultural education. The cultural fund Frankfurt Rheinmain has just selected 35 projects for the school year 2025/2026, which are funded with a total of around 392,000 euros. This is artfully implemented as part of the successful funding program, which starts in its thirteenth round. In this way, the fund supports young people in realizing cultural projects and putting creative ideas into practice. As reports [Rheinmainverlag.de] (https://www.rheinmainverlag.de/2025/06/12/kulturfonds-frankfurt-rheinmain-foerdert-35-projekt-der-kulture-fuer--kamendend- 2025-2026/) Frankfurt, which offers an insight into theater rehearsals, how diverse cultural education can be.

A total of 49 applications were submitted, which is a new record. Schools from all over the region have applied, including from Bad Vilbel, Darmstadt, Hanau, Wiesbaden and the Rheingau-Taunus district. Particular attention was paid to projects that deal with the topics of democracy education, diversity and community promotion. Dr. Susanne Völker, the managing director of the cultural fund, emphasizes how important creative spaces are for the development of young people.

Diverse project content and school types

The funded artistic projects cover a wide range. These include the adaptation of a literary text template at the Edith Stein School in Darmstadt or a project for audio description and dance at the Hermann Herzog School in Frankfurt. Projects for inclusion are also promoted, such as the projects of the IGS Herder and the Charles Hallgarten School. Innovative approaches such as "Art meets artificial intelligence" at the Darmstadt State Theater show that the focus is on the connection between art and the latest technologies.

As part of the artful program, secondary school schools cooperate with artists. These partnerships are not only important for the pupils, but also for the artists involved who can bring their expertise. The applications are not bound to strict thematic specifications; Rather, they are based on relevant social issues. This fits perfectly to the aim that all students have access to artistic forms of expression, which is anchored in the Hessian School Act, such as [Kulturberatung-hessen.de] (https://kulturberatung-hessen.de/aktuelles/foerderprogramm-kunstprojekt- Projektunnerschaften- between-Schulen-und-kunstchaffen).

strengthening cultural education

Cultural education plays a central role in the development of social and personal skills. Activities such as theater games, visual art or creative writing not only promote trust and creativity, but also tolerance and social openness. This commitment is supported by various programs from the Hessian Ministry of Culture, Education and Opportunities, as the Office for Cultural Education explains. The aim of these initiatives is to strengthen schools as places of cultural activity and to promote networking within the region, which also includes further training for teachers.

From November 2025, a new training series entitled "Art meets nature" will start, which should further qualify teachers and artists in four modules. Registration for this is possible until October 15, 2025. Such advanced training offers are important in order to further expand the commitment in the field of cultural education and to meet the challenges of everyday school life with a creative approach.

The positive effects of these initiatives are far -reaching: through artistic design and public presentations not only promotes skills, but also established a sustainable connection to the culture. The commitment and promotion by the Cultural Fund Frankfurt Rheinmain are therefore pioneering for the future of cultural education in Hesse.
