Who we are
Since 2020, Stiftung für Kulturelle Weiterbildung und Kulturberatung (Foundation for Cultural Education and Cultural Consulting, SKWK) has been the umbrella organization for four initiatives that advocate for more equal opportunities in Berlin’s cultural landscape and actively shape social and cultural policy discourse on this topic.
The goal of our activities is to develop the cultural sector to reflect the existing diversity of our democratic society, in terms of its program, personnel, audience and accessibility.
The Berlin state-based foundation is supported by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
