With ‘Jonge Kunst’, the Fonds Soziokultur supported collaborations between German and Dutch cultural institutions from 2013 to 2022. Together with the dutch Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie, a total of 200,000 euros was made available annually for project partnerships.

Both funds supported the collaborative projects with identical amounts, generally up to a maximum of 25,000 euros in total. To facilitate the partnerships at a conceptual level, both funds organised “Meet and Match” seminars. Here, interested cultural practitioners from institutions in both countries met, exchanged methods and ideas, and developed initial ideas for collaboration.
