City of Bocholt packs the Kulturrucksack NRW 2026!

Once again this year, the Department of Culture and Education and the Department of Youth and Family have put together a cultural programme for children and young people aged 10 to 14. A total of 23 projects in the fields of art, literature, photography, film, drama and music are on offer. Children and young people from Bocholt, Hamminkeln or Isselburg can take part in the programme free of charge.

Various partners, artists and players from around Bocholt will be launching exciting workshops, new and tried-and-tested programmes to inspire enthusiasm for art and culture. From designing with wood, a K-Pop workshop, self-portraits in acrylic to a storytelling and adventure overnight stay and many more great offers for children and young people to take part in, there is a colourful, varied programme available in this year's Kulturrucksack.
