Since its beginnings, the Schlachthaus Theater Bern has also been a theatre for young audiences – and demand remains high. The theatre plans to strengthen and develop its offerings for a young audience. It will be supported for several years to extend the range of its activities, including taking new productions into local neighbourhoods in order to reach a diverse audience of children and young people.

The Heitere Fahne is a young collective in Bern, which within a short time has succeeded in inspiring a substantial public to engage with culture in the most diverse and inclusive forms. Within the framework of a partnership, the further development of the business, which is located in a charming old brewery in Wabern, is to be supported long term.

Every two years, the Basel documentary festival is dedicated to the documentary arts with a focus on the performing arts. Unique in Europe in its thematic focus, “It's The Real Thing” highlights the manifold ways in which reality and identities are portrayed in politics, the media, science, in stories, in joint discussions and in the arts.
