The Government Council of the Canton of Thurgau supports the "School and Culture Network" project. The aim is to strengthen cultural education in schools and thus make it easier for children and young people at all school levels to access art and culture.

A coordination and information office is given the task of setting up an online database that lists all cultural education offers in Thurgau and its catchment area. The service is to be added to the existing cultural agenda thurgaukultur.ch and networked with the planned database of other eastern Swiss cantons.

A second task of the new position is to establish a network of contact persons at the schools who are particularly concerned with cultural education issues.

A project group headed by René Munz, Head of the Cultural Office, will be set up for the duration of the three-year development phase of the new position - the Government Council has approved CHF 100,000 per year from the lottery fund for this purpose. Adrian Bleisch, a trained primary school teacher and museum educator from Egnach, will be appointed to manage the project on a contract basis.

 

From March 2013, the City of Zurich's cultural funding department will be switching to online applications in stages. Applications for funding will now be submitted via a central portal and processed electronically by the departments and specialist commissions.

The City of Zurich's Department of Culture receives around 1500 applications for funding every year, which are processed by the various departments. The entire application and processing process, from submission to decision, is now carried out electronically and online via the Internet.

The solution has been developed for Kultur Stadt Zürich together with the Zurich Organization and Information Technology (OIZ) and a private provider. As before, the content of the submissions will be assessed by a specialist commission external to the administration.

The individual cultural departments are switching to electronic applications in stages. Applications for funding must be submitted electronically and online from the following dates: Electronic music from March 1, 2013, jazz/rock/pop from March 15, 2013, visual arts from May 6, 2013, theater, dance and literature from July 1, 2013.
