ENACTING Digital Festival & Competition

Jugend- & Kulturprojekt e.V. (JKPeV) was founded in 2004 with the aim of providing opportunities for young people and adults to develop and use their soft and professional skills and stimulate their creativity and entrepreneurial skills through non-formal learning. Located in Dresden, Germany, JKPeV is dedicated to culture, arts and youth work whilst promoting EU citizenship and the active participation of its citizens.
We design and implement educational Projects and learning and training materials addressed to young people, adults, educators, and youth workers as well as young people with fewer opportunities. We deliver training courses, seminars, and workshops on-site, online, and abroad with a focus on supporting our target groups' self- and professional development. At the same time through the implementation of cultural and art events at our multifunctional space - KulturCentrale and the Full Moon Gallery, we assist the cultural enrichment of the city of Dresden and the Free State of Saxony and foster cultural diversity while promoting emerging and established artists that live in Dresden. Involving experienced and highly knowledgeable educators, trainers, youth workers, and project managers from Dresden and abroad and including participants with fewer opportunities (NEETs, with migrant background etc.) to our on-site projects kindles an intercultural dialogue in the heart of an already highly acclaimed artistic hub -Dresden- while on the other hand, including local citizens in our abroad events brings back to the city a fresh outlook to familiar problems and a sense of belonging to a greater group –the European.
Addressing our aim, we focus on breeding international, cross-sectoral, and cross-disciplinary cooperation in Dresden and the EU by offering a number of Training Courses and Activities focused on Personal and Professional Development, Green, Social and Digital Entrepreneurship, Film Making, Digital Media and Social Media management, Cultural Heritage and History, Active Citizenship, Youth Work and Volunteering, Inclusion and Integration annually with local and international participants and educators. Our Public Events offer the possibility for all citizens of the city wherein they take place to experience first-hand the intellectual, cultural, and artistic approaches of individuals from other countries, facilitating thus the international dialogue on common issues.
Aside from Training sessions and Seminars, JKPeV also offers the opportunity to young adults to immerse themselves in the vision of JKPeV by offering Internship and Volunteering possibilities in our organisation (Erasmus placement, ESC, Bundesfreiwilligerdienst, Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs etc.). Working at the hub of such cultural activity allows young people –be they local or foreign- to better understand the possibilities, opportunities, and cultural diversity present within the European Union.
