How can participation succeed? Where can people find spaces today to actively shape culture? And what ideas emerge when young people take culture into their own hands?

The 26th edition of Kulturszene explores the many different answers to these questions. It focuses on young cultural initiatives supported through the U25 funding programme, showcasing how they shape culture with their own ideas and create fresh momentum for community engagement. In addition, the magazine presents the 2025 funding statistics, providing an overview of the Fonds Soziokultur’s funding activities over the past year and offering insights into the diverse practice of socioculture.

Although Kulturszene is published in German, you can explore selected articles and highlights from the current issue in English on this website.
