KuBiG Network Meeting 2025

KuBiG Network Meeting 2025

Culture and education in Gronau with Sebastian Kurtenbach on November 19, 2025, from 5.30 pm in the Turbine of the rock’n’popmuseum

Since 2022, Kulturbetriebe Gronau has been working with many partners to develop an overall municipal concept for cultural education (KuBiG). The aim is to sustainably strengthen cultural participation for children, young people and adults in Gronau and to establish structures that more closely interlink education and culture. In this process, network meetings such as the upcoming KuBiG forum are important building blocks for promoting exchange, cooperation and new impulses in urban society.

We are delighted to have Prof. Dr. Sebastian Kurtenbach as this year’s keynote speaker. The political scientist and social policy expert is co-author of the highly acclaimed book “Kinder – Minderheit ohne Schutz”, which was nominated for the German Non-Fiction Prize in 2025. His research on migration, social inequality, urban development and social participation is highly topical – even for a city like Gronau.

“We are delighted to have Sebastian Kurtenbach, the author of a work nominated for the German Non-Fiction Prize 2025, make a detour to Gronau. We are convinced that the exchange with local educational and cultural professionals will be sustainable and fruitful.”
– Britta Drewitz, Kulturbetriebe Gronau

After his keynote speech, we will talk to him about the role of cultural education for children and young people – especially in rural areas. What opportunities does it open up? Where are the challenges? And how can local cultural players, schools, associations and initiatives take responsibility together?
