Volunteers talking to food bank clients at Kultur.vor.Ort

Access to culture in the neighborhoods

With our Kultur.vor.Ort offer we approach people and involve them in personal conversations in the cultural offerings of the city. At the same time, we arouse interest in independent, creative work.

Cultural mediation in personal conversation

Poverty can isolate people and often makes them ill. The radius of action in life becomes narrower. With our Kultur.vor.Ort offer, we reach out to people. In a personal conversation on site, the opportunities for cultural participation are expanded for the people addressed: What's going on in the city? Which cultural events can I attend? How can I gain access to a shared, communal, artistic activity and thus strengthen my self-esteem? With Kultur.vor.Ort, the association reaches a new target group: people with little knowledge of German and people, often older people, who for technical or economic reasons cannot be reached or can only be reached with difficulty via telephone cultural mediation.

The volunteer cultural mediators at Kultur.vor.Ort are regularly out and about at 18 locations in Munich. Kultur.vor.Ort takes place at food distribution points of the Munich table and church lunches . They make it possible to attend cultural events free of charge in direct, personalized talks.

The Kultur.vor.Ort mediators are often supported by Munich artists at their appointments. In this way, we reach out to people with simple and easily accessible formats. More about the Kultur.vor.Ort participatory formats see here.

Culture opens up worlds, connects people and allows them to engage in conversation. The inspiring exchange that can arise here is more important than ever - for the mental health of the individual as well as for the cohesion of our society. KulturRaum München is making a valuable contribution to this with its “Kultur.vor.Ort” project.
