Mission and Values
editThe mission of TPZ Lingen is based on the belief that participation in art and culture is a fundamental human need and a means of communication. The center aims to impart diverse cultural and aesthetic skills to as many people as possible to demonstrate different opportunities for artistic and social participation. It promotes transdisciplinary thinking and unbiased action in a respectful atmosphere and emphasizes that a person's economic and social situation should not determine their opportunities for participation in aesthetic education[1].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

It has recently opened a permanent branch in Nordhorn to strengthen the cultural offerings in the district and achieve greater visibility for the specialized academy. This initiative is financially supported by the district of Grafschaft Bentheim and the city of Nordhorn. The new regional office serves as a point of contact for interested parties, schools, artists, and cultural workers and provides information on workshops, further training, and events[2].
Current Developments
editTPZ Lingen is continuously working on expanding and deepening its offerings. It participates in numerous community projects with regional partners and promotes youth cultural work in the district. The opening of the regional office in Nordhorn is an important step to strengthen and diversify cultural education and artistic engagement in the region[2].
