Basel promotes cultural mediators
The City of Basel's cultural mediation jury has recommended eight projects by independent cultural practitioners for funding. A total of CHF 142,144 was awarded, including for an intergenerational music and dance education project.
The Culture Division received 20 applications for technical assessment by the panel of experts. Eight grants were awarded. Among the projects is the NOB Composition Workshop 2021 of the New Orchestra Basel.
Pupils of various ages set texts from the Basler Eule writing competition to music, and young people work on compositions with musicians from the orchestra.
The Pumpernickel Company's intergenerational music and dance education project is also supported. In six workshops, primary school children dance and make music together with residents of the Adullam care center. The Stimmenmeer project by the Theater Süd association (in cooperation with ASK-Chor Basel and the Momo care home) in turn explores "the polyphony and diversity of our society with interested people of all ages".
The call for proposals for the promotion of cultural mediation projects by the Culture Division is usually issued twice a year. Decisive criteria for the assessment include an adequate mediation approach, the relevance of the content and social relevance as well as the feasibility of the project and its impact objectives.
