Experience cultural diversity: anniversary celebration in Heidelberg on July 25th!
Heidelberg on July 25th is again all about cultural diversity. At 6 p.m., a colorful anniversary program begins at Karlstorbahnhof that celebrates the diverse facets of this UNESCO City of Literature. Today the city and numerous players invite you to discover the cultural offers together and to experience what the city has to offer in diversity. The hosts are particularly welcome visitors who would like to be inspired by the various publishers and initiatives. There are numerous information stands in the entrance area and foyer of the Karlstorbahnhof that provide exciting insights into the work of migrant organizations and literary publishers.
The DRAUPADI Verlag, Palmyra Verlag and the publisher find the Wunderhorn among the participating publishers, who want to inspire the audience with international programs of current, contemporary literature. The migrant self-organizations, such as the A. I. Cuza Society for Literature, Music and Art e.V. and the colorful BRISE e.V., are also there and present their cultural projects. With this ceremony it becomes clear: cultural diversity shapes life in Heidelberg, and the commitment of these groups is indispensable for the cooperation in the city.cultural diversity as a focus
Cultural diversity is not just a catchphrase, but a reality in society. According to the initiatives for cultural diversity, as they are also operated by the Ministry of Culture and Science, it is emphasized that diversity in programs and partners is often not adequately mapped. An overall concept for promoting diversity and participation was created to reduce access barriers that exist due to origin, gender or disability. The aim of this concept is that all groups have participated in culture and their voice is heard.
This is not only shown in Heidelberg, but also in national events. For example, the acceptance festival 2025 takes place in Potsdam, which will bloom on May 10th and 11th under the motto "Inclusive cooperation". Events such as the Carnival of Cultures in Berlin pursue similar goals and create spaces for encounter and understanding where cultural forms of expression are celebrated.
invitations to future events
everyone who is interested in art from different perspectives is the seminar "change of perspective: inclusion in visual arts" on March 28, 2025. The organizers include the German Artists' Association and the British Council, which are promoted with disabilities for the access of artists.
Special attention should also be paid to events of this kind. In order to promote the practice of cultural participation, art and culture must reflect all facets of society. The ministry has implemented measures that are intended to help underrepresented cultural workers in particular. Projects that rely on diversity and including measures can receive up to 5,000 euros in support in order to make cultural forms of expression accessible to everyone.
In Heidelberg, use the opportunity to be part of these celebrations on July 25th. Discover the diversity of Heidelberg's cultural landscape and experience a festival that celebrates the creative strength and cultural wealth of our society. Be there and actively shape the cultural future of our city!
