Project funding

Project funding from the Partnership for Democracy

The local partnership for democracy in Jena aims to develop and implement action plans to promote democracy and diversity. It brings together those responsible from local politics and administration as well as active members of civil society - from clubs and associations to churches and civic activists.

As part of the federal program Demokratie leben! and the state program DenkBunt, the local partnership for democracy is provided with funding to finance projects. The Monitoring Committee of the Local Partnership for Democracy decides on the allocation of funds.

Anyone who is aligned with the goals of the local partnership of the city of Jena and does not contradict the Jena city program against xenophobia, right-wing extremism, anti-Semitism and intolerance can participate.

Advice and support in developing and applying for projects can be obtained from the coordination and specialist office of the local Jena Democracy Partnership.
