External advice for the selection process

Since February, the jury has been working diligently to make a suitable selection from the profiled and diverse documents. The course’s partners played a key role in the process: the Federal Association of Cultural Agents for Creative Schools, CRESPO Foundation – The Flying Artist’s Room, TUSCH Hamburg, the KLAUS art lab, LesArt Berlin Center for Children’s and Youth Literature, TanzZeit Berlin e. V. and the Future Lab of the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen, as well as the Education and Outreach Department of Documenta and Museum Fridericianum GgmbH.

Around 90 applicants have now been invited to selection interviews in order to determine the final 30 scholarship holders. To support the jury during the selection interviews, the expertise of two external jurors, Khadidiatou Bangoura and Özlem Canyürek, will be called upon.
