Empowerment calendar of the Intercultural Centers

March 9, 2026

The Intercultural Centers have been supported by the City of Cologne for over 40 years and are committed to equal and peaceful coexistence in Cologne. The centers are also a place for self-organization and an active and lively shaping of democracy. Furthermore, the Intercultural Centers work against racism and for an urban society of diversity.

As part of an empowerment project, the centers have developed a timeless calendar that makes the diversity, creativity and voices of Cologne's urban society visible. The calendar is intended as a long-term companion and offers inspiring impulses from intercultural work.

The focus here is on all children and young people with an international family history in order to give them good opportunities in education. That's why we help from the very beginning in early childhood education, in school and youth work and also when they start their training, studies or career. We want to lay the foundations early on so that children and young people can do well in life and at work later on. We show what the city and other agencies have to offer in the area of early childhood education.
