Aller.Land promotes culture, participation, and democracy in structurally weak rural regions of Germany. The program strengthens local communities through participatory cultural projects, networking, and political education to create sustainable structures.
"Aller.Land – shaping together. Strengthening structures." is a cross-departmental funding program of the federal government that focuses on promoting culture, participation, and democracy in rural, particularly structurally weak rural regions in Germany. The program is initiated and implemented by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media (BKM), the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL), and the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb) in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community (BMI).
The main mission of Aller.Land is to empower people in rural areas and provide them with the opportunity to develop and strengthen their local communities through participatory cultural projects in the long term. The program relies on the active participation of the population to solidify democratic structures locally and to promote cultural, artistic, and creative projects that improve coexistence in rural areas.
The Aller.Land program office, located in Leipzig and operated by the project managers bakv gGmbH, is responsible for the organization, implementation, and communication of the funding project. The office supports the regions in all phases of the program and ensures close cooperation between the various stakeholders[2][4].
"Aller.Land" is a vibrant example of how rural regions can be strengthened and made future-proof through joint efforts and strong participation of the local population.
