“We want to share our expertise in developing cultural programmes which are children and young people centred and who are ‘in need’ in our respective countries. i.e. children and young people who are care experienced, have experienced abuse or neglect, have a disability or life restricting illness, have experienced poverty / low income, absent parenting, living as a young carer, seeking asylum, in refuge or in alternative educational provision etc. We want to exchange about concepts for disadvantaged children and young people, and particularly explore the Creative Mentoring service developed by The Mighty Creatives.”

The Werkhaus e.V. co-operates with local partners and initiatives and involves, addresses and reaches people from all social classes, different age groups and nationalities. Werkhaus e.V. in Krefeld runs a Cultural Centre, a Centre for Child and Youth Work, a Centre for Cultural Youth Education, an Education Centre and a Neighbourhood House. Werkhaus e.V. is a member of several umbrella organisations and national working groups e.g. Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft für eine andere Weiterbildung NRW e. V. (LAAW), LKD, Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Kulturpädagogische Dienste / Jugendkunstschulen NRW, Paritätischer Wohlfahrtsverband. We want to analyse and further develop which focuses on the concerns of disadvantaged children. Questions of social disadvantage, poverty and disability flow into our cultural work; and the art and cultural work created with children is channelled back into wider urban society. Practical expertise is also given by education workers from the Werkhaus Children’s Centre who work in co-operation with Youth Welfare Office.
