According to Berlin's cultural administration, organisations can apply with a concept by the beginning of September, according to a statement.

Berlin's cultural administration wants to promote a counselling centre against anti-Semitism in the cultural sector. According to a statement by Berlin's cultural administration, the planned advice centre will provide training and courses on the topic of anti-Semitism or create its own services in this area. It will be aimed specifically at cultural institutions and cultural professionals. "Not only since the Hamas attack on Israel and the subsequent Gaza war have we seen a significant increase in anti-Semitic incidents in Berlin, which have also affected Berlin's cultural sector," the cultural administration stated.
