    About the Program

    "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).

    Mission and Values

    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.
