Goethe-Instituts abroad and their partner institutions work with musicians to lay the foundations for diverse forms of cultural exchange: we provide funding for projects to build individual musical skills and encourage participation in collaborative ensemble music activities.
Whom we fund
We provide funding for professional musicians and music teachers based in Germany who are interested in putting on educational music projects abroad.
What we fund
We provide support for participatory and collaborative music projects abroad designed to improve individual learners’ music skills or encourage participation in ensemble music activities.
Funding is available for up to five teachers per project. Chamber music or band-based projects are also eligible for funding. Travel grants are available only for those actively participating in the project in an artistic or teaching capacity. For reasons of sustainability, each music project should involve about five days of workshops. Concert performances may be envisaged, but the focus of the project should be on teaching music.
We generally cover part, but not all, of the travel expenses.
Benefit projects (fundraisers), projects within the framework of political educational work, travel for tourist purposes or family visits, school/university projects, folklore events, and projects organized by commercial promoters or with party-political, religious or ideological content are not eligible for funding.
