Description of the Organization

The German Federation for Arts Education and Cultural Learning (Bundesvereinigung Kulturelle Kinder- und Jugendbildung - BKJ) is the umbrella organisation for cultural education in Germany. More than 50 nationwide specialist organisations and state associations have joined forces in the BKJ. With their offers of cultural education in the fields of visual arts, digital media, film, photography, literature, music, rhythm, play, dance, theatre and circus, they are committed to diversity, inclusion, voluntary work, international exchange and successful educational landscapes. We advise specialists and teachers in the field of (non-formal) arts education on technical and conceptual questions and on support programmes, also at the intersection with an education for sustainable development and transformative learning for global justice. Youth organisations based in Germany can apply to us for funding for individual programmes, for example for international exchanges in the field of cultural education or for educational alliances at local level.

Description of the Organization

Poverty is increasing all over the world. Ecological catastrophes are becoming more and more severe. Also, the readiness to solve problems by the use of violence is getting stronger. The number of refugees and migrants is growing, and racism and xenophobia are shown more openly and violently then ever before. It seems difficult or even impossible for people of different cultures to live together. With its work, the BIZME aims at promoting the knowledge about other countries and the understanding of foreign cultures among German citizens. It provides background information on globalization and its (negative) consequences, and explains the (global) context. Thus, the BIZME works towards creating an awareness among people that our planet will only survive if each and every person contributes to its survival in the public as well as in the private sphere.

The BIZME organizes lectures, discussions, video evenings, seminars, exhibitions and much more. With its library containing subject-related literature, didactic materials, videotapes, CD-ROMs, and a comprehensive archive of magazines it allows interested adolescents and adults to get information on a multitude of topics. Information brochures and illustrative materials are also available for borrowing. Furthermore, the BIZME assists school classes, teachers, groups and organizations in the preparation of events, project days and school partnerships.

The BIZME cooperates with initiatives, groups and institutions in and outside the town of Bremen. It is not affiliated to any party or confessional group.

The BIZME is financed by the AG Entwicklungspolitik und Menschenrechte e. V., which is an association composed of individual members as well as the following two international and four national organizations: Amnesty International, Terre des Hommes, Bremer
Initiative Ostasien, Entwicklungspolitischer Arbeitskreis, Lebenschance, and Praktische Solidarität International.

Description of the Organization

The study group of Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke (one world-federal networks) in Germany inc. (agl) is the nationwide umbrella organization of 16 Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke (one world-federal networks) supports its members in their engagement of a future-oriented global development which is based on the principles of social justice, ecological lastingness, democracy and participation. agl reaches through its member's associations nationwide about 10,000 developing-political groups and associations. agl supports the educational, information and project work of its members. It links up activities and campaigns to topical central topics of interest and organises the exchange and flow of information between the federal networks by communication offers, advanced training and interlinking meetings. One World groups, federal networks and agl form together the structure within whose campaigns, plans, information and educational attempts from the developing-political area to transporting down in regional and local connections, positions and activities of the regional and local initiatives at regional state and national level are discussed. With our actions and campaigns we have asked governments and the Landtag (federal state parliament), the Federal Government, Bundestag (Lower House of Parliament) during the last years over and over again to go outside the box and into the direction of a fair and sustainable development. We support Eine Welt-Politik (one-world politics) as a cross-cutting task of all political areas of the Federal Government and the State Government. We are contacts for north south questions for the respective state
governments and other social groups.

  • We get on as a forum for Eine Welt-political discussions.
  • We offer services for our members, for local initiatives and disseminators.
  • We get on as a megaphone of underprivileged sections of the population especially in the countries of the south.

By public-relations actions in the area of the developing-political domestic work we sensitize the people for world questions and motivate for behavioral changes in personal and political area.
