ha’atelier develops an international artistic and theoretical “encyclopedia of the diaspora”. Its investigations and topics are not bound by national, ethnic, religious or other territorial belongings and focus rather on the interface of various phenomena of human creativity and expression in between institutional and public spaces. The workshop’s encyclopedic curriculum offers special attention to cosmopolitan Jewish and Islamic traditions. Depending on the thematic perspective, staff of faculty, and a given cultural landscape at hand, ha’atelier concentrically embodies and documents ever renewed facets of artistic and theoretical thinking in various locations in the world. In this way ha’atelier functions as a nomadic structure, whose “flying faculty” comprises an international team of scholars, writers, artists and free agents of culture and public discourse.

The purpose of Halma is to create a European structure for projects and actors that extends national borders and in which they can move between different European regions in order to work there, further their education as well as implement and present projects. This way, Halma wants to promote European cultural exchange in the areas of literature and intercultural dialogue, to further understanding between peoples, literary life and language culture. It is intended that it fulfills its goal, in particular, by means of awarding subsidy funds to authors, translators and persons in the European literary establishment, as well as the organization and implementation of projects of European interest. Such subsidy and project funding can be designated for * travel, residence and work scholarships * organization and implementation of cultural projects within the Halma network * prize money and awards. * publications * to take measures for the Halma-network´s infrastructure

HHD is a progressive Jewish organisation that operates through non-formal education. The organisation works to connect and strengthen the pluralistic community as a group, for the recognition of Judaism as a shared culture and history. The organisation works in partnership with partner organisations and the world movement, as an act of coming together on the personal and social level. We work to provide a safer space by strengthening and empowering Jewish activists and their peers. We strive to develop independent and critical thinking out of solidarity in order to create an equitable and fair society as a whole. We are a team of young, committed, critical people in Germany, most of us with migrant background. We do not only want to discuss Jewish life from a past perspective nor separate it from current issues. Jewish life is an ongoing thread in our educational work, an intersectional lens on the world through which we want to discuss relevant political and social issues. The new board and chairperson, elected late 2019, have set as priority to increase the work all around Germany, and with partners in Europe and beyond.

The House of World Cultures is one of the leading centres for contemporary arts from Africa, Asia and Latin America and a venue for projects exploding artistic boundaries. Non-European cultures are presented in visual arts, dance, theatre, music, literature, film and the media, and engaged into a public discourse with European cultures. The emphasis is placed on contemporary cultures and current developments, as well as on the artistic and cultural consequences of globalisation. Priority is attached to projects exploring the potential of intercultural co-operation.
