Stiftung Centre Culturel Français de Kiel, linked to the Institut français network, primarily supports Franco-German cultural exchange through project-based funding in the arts, literature, music, theatre, dance, and architecture. A strong second pillar is education and school outreach, especially programs that bring French culture, film, music, and reading initiatives into classrooms. Most support appears to be highly program-specific and relationship-driven, with an emphasis on cultural presentation, translation/publishing, and cross-border collaboration in Germany and France.
Mostly invite-only, program-specific project support rather than open general grants; funding is typically tied to festivals, guest performances, exhibitions, translations, and school programs, with application procedures varying by program.
Review the individual program pages carefully, since access is often invite-only and eligibility differs by fund. If a program includes an application form, submit a project-specific proposal that clearly shows cultural exchange value, target audience, and Germany/France collaboration; unsolicited general inquiries are unlikely to be competitive.
