Sign up for an information sessionCultural education does not have a fixed place in the curriculum within vocational education. Nevertheless, it is relevant for students at vocational institutions to be able to develop creatively. This can be through citizenship education or career orientation and guidance, but also through subject integration with the core subjects or vocational practice-oriented subjects.
With this scheme, we offer cultural and vocational institutions the opportunity to explore, develop, and implement collaboration for a cultural educational project. Cultural education also includes heritage education.
Who can apply for a subsidy?
Applications can be submitted by:
- a cultural institution
- a vocational education institution
The organisation needs to be established in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The application is always for the collaboration between the cultural institution and the vocational education institution.
What can you apply for?
We support the exploration of local cooperation between a cultural institution and a vocational education institution. This involves activities such as discussions, developing plans, making agreements about, among other things, the content, division of tasks and financing and trying out activities. This can also be done, for example, by financing a project manager who conducts an exploration from the cultural institution or the vocational education institution. The exploration is focused on cultural education for students in vocational education.
The following effects are being worked on in the exploration:
This is the process in which multiple people work together towards the same goal; organizing between individuals and/or organizations. The goal is to achieve or realize something that the parties cannot achieve alone. This arrangement concerns the collaboration between the cultural institution and the vocational education institution, possibly with the lead partner. The project is successful if the collaboration between the cultural institution and the vocational education institution, possibly with the lead partner, has been strengthened.
This is the joint development and determination of a cultural education project or collaboration in it. The vision is a joint image, shared by all parties involved, that gives an expectation of the future relevant to cultural education. The project is successful if the vocational education institution and cultural institution have jointly developed a vision on the cultural education project and the collaboration.
Every child and young person of every background, origin or place of residence has an equal chance to learn about and with culture and to discover their own creative talents. This can be done within cultural education subjects but also more broadly in (citizenship) education. The project is successful if the activities have increased the equal opportunities of students.
