All offers of the Cultural Backpack
Inclusive Cultural Backpack
One of the guiding principles of the Cultural Backpack in the Oberbergischer Kreis is inclusion. Many of the workshops and projects are inclusive and enable participation for children and adolescents with disabilities. Through close collaboration with the Serv-in - Service Center for Extracurricular Inclusion, not only are project providers and implementers extensively advised and trained, but also families and those interested who are looking for inclusive leisure activities. A cooperation with the Family Support Services Lebenspfade Oberberg e.V. also enables the accompaniment and financing of assistance for participants with support needs.
Funding Program Cultural Backpack NRW
Cultural education is an important focus in the cultural and youth policy of the state government. With the Cultural Backpack, the Ministry for Family, Children, Youth, Culture, and Sports initiated a program in 2011 that promotes cultural education offers at extracurricular learning venues and specifically makes new attractive, age-appropriate cultural offers possible for 10- to 14-year-olds.
The funding program provides a targeted incentive for young people to explore their creativity. Especially for children and adolescents with little contact with art and culture, the opportunity to participate in cultural life should be improved.
The Cultural Backpack NRW is funded by the Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW) and the Ministry for Children, Family, Refugees, and Integration (MKFFI) of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
