“Art every week”
KUNSTWELTEN education programme of the Akademie der Künste continues its cooperation with the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld
Under the motto "Art every week", the KUNSTWELTEN education programme of the Akademie der Künste is continuing its cooperation with the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld. The programme, very popular with children, adolescents, teachers, parents and partners for 15 years, is taking place weekly at a school in the district until the end of the year. In addition to readings, and film and audio play events, it offers a variety of art workshops.
The intensification of KUNSTWELTEN's activities in the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld is funded by the federal government from the budget for culture and media as part of the process of strengthening the coal-mining regions undergoing restructuring. Art outreach programmes for young people are needed more than ever in view of the impact of the pandemic and the Russian war of aggression on Ukraine, to educate, encourage, build bridges, and enhance the joy of living and gaining experience through the means of art.
The participating artists, among them numerous Akademie members, include the filmmaker and Akademie President Jeanine Meerapfel, the writer and Vice-President of the Akademie Kathrin Röggla as well as Ralph Hammerthaler, Thomas Heise, Kerstin Hensel, Miguel Hilari, Nataša von Kopp, Stella Luncke, Friederike Meese, Helke Misselwitz, Terézia Mora, Moritz Nitsche, Kristiane Petersmann, Rosa von Praunheim, Benjamin Scheuer, Ingo Schulze, Hanna Zeckau and Lukas Zerbst.
The cooperation of the Akademie der Künste with the schools, the office for culture and the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld has been in place since 2006. Akademie President Jeanine Meerapfel and district administrator Andy Grabner are continuing the programme initiated by their predecessors Klaus Staeck and Uwe Schulze. Under this cooperation, hundreds of children and adolescents have been invited by artists to engage creatively. Trying their hands at writing, photography, drawing, composition, improvisation and dance and making sound installations, collages, postcards, posters, audio plays and films, pupils from almost all types of schools have discovered new things and experienced the joy of lively engagement with art.
