Every year the lack of programme funding has made the subject of "co-operation" increasingly important for the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN. For this reason, co-operation events with initiatives, associations, foundations, NGOs, (music) schools and universities have been greatly expanded in recent years and have been raised to a higher level of quality.

The WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN usually provides the necessary knowledge in the areas of conception, development and implementation of events. At the same time it offers premises and technical equipment, while the co-operation partners usually contribute fresh ideas and financial resources. All of these factors come together and are brought to completion during the course of the co-operation between the partners and the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN.

Unfortunately, the financing for these co-operations cannot be accurately reflected in the financial plan of the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN, as the funding of these events is largely carried by the respective co-operation partners.

In some cases, the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN is approached by potential co-operation partners simply for the use of their space, infrastructure and logistical assistance. In such cases, their own creative input may be limited. Nevertheless, such co-operation makes it possible to carry out numerous series of events and individual events that are also programmatically relevant to the WERKSTATT DER KULTUREN.
