    KIKU Kinderkulturhaus Lohbrügge: An Institution for Cultural Education and Integration

    The KIKU Kinderkulturhaus Lohbrügge, founded in 2010, is a central institution in the Hamburg district of Lohbrügge dedicated to the cultural education and integration of children and young people.

    Key Products and Services

    The KIKU offers a diverse and colorful program for children aged 4 to 12 years. The main offerings include:

    • Reading Club: A low-threshold and open offer for literacy and reading promotion, which includes morning programs for schools and daycare centers as well as afternoon programs in the free area. The reading club has received numerous awards, including the Budnianer Help Award, the Take-Off Award, and the Hamburg Children and Youth Culture Prize[1][4][5].
    • Cultural Projects: Theater acting, dancing, making music, and creating radio and television contributions are just some of the activities that provide children with new experiences and skills and improve their social abilities. Many of these offerings promote language and organically connect art, culture, and language education[1].
    • Workshops and Training: The KIKU offers workshops and training at various institutions such as the University of Duisburg-Essen, the Wabe Academy, and as part of the Culture-Powerful Alliances[1].

    Main Mission and Values

    The main mission of the KIKU is to provide cultural education and promote integration for children and young people, especially those who do not have all doors open to them. The house is meant to be a place of calm, learning, and play that offers children a home regardless of their backgrounds. Integration and language education are central aspects of the KIKU's work to foster an inclusive and diverse community[1][4].

    Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

    The KIKU is involved in numerous sustainability initiatives and projects:

    • Refugee Work: The KIKU supports families seeking refuge in Hamburg and offers special programs and materials for this group[1].
    • Cooperations: The house works closely with nearby schools, daycare centers, and other local institutions to achieve its goals and promote urban development through culture[1][3].
    • Multilingual Projects: The KIKU has successfully established a multilingual storytelling project inspired by a German-Turkish initiative for collaboration in refugee assistance[1].

    The KIKU strives to continuously expand and sustain its projects to create long-term perspectives for education and a more fulfilling life for children. Through donations and support, the KIKU will be able to maintain and further develop its diverse offerings.
