Our productions aim to promote mutual understanding between cultures and encourage social exchange. The focus is on intercultural dialogue in the form of direct interaction, both among artists themselves and between artists and visitors. We aim to strengthen cultural diversity. Our productions create intercultural encounters in the fields of education and youth, culture and arts, religion, diversity and migration. The target groups are particularly women, youth and migrants.

Piranha Kultur has been active in the field of international cultural exchange for many years and has implemented a variety of projects in cooperation with international partners. We wish to continue our activities in cultural exchange. Piranha Kultur specialises in the programming and development of new formats, production and realisation, as well as the communication of intercultural music events. In this sector, we can be a strong partner and evolve collaborative relationships with other network members. Due to our events and activities we can facilitate cultural exchanges and encounters, and can identify the various aspects of cultural diversity.
The Anna Lindh Foundation offers us a range of resources and support tools. We hope that we can find potential partners inside the network of over 3000 social organisations for future projects. In addition, we would like to apply for one of the grants to sustain these projects. Furthermore, we will use the opportunity to post a project idea and look for partners and support in order to develop this idea. The Anna Lindh Foundation offers many networking possibilities and we would like to use this network to highlight our focus on intercultural dialogues and collaboration.
