Collaborative initiatives with fellow municipalities in Pforzheim's partner cities
The city of Pforzheim has announced its exchange program for the year 2024, inviting schools, groups, and associations to submit encounters and projects with its partner cities. These cities include Gernika (Basque Country/Spain), Győr-Moson-Sopron (Hungary), Nevşehir (Turkey), Osijek (Croatia), Saint-Maur-des-Fossés (France), Częstochowa (Poland), and Vicenza (Italy).
For eligible participants under 18 or up to 27 years of age without their own income, a municipal grant from the city of Pforzheim is available. The exchange should be reciprocal for a project to be funded, and a partner group is usually required. For sporting events and activities in the cultural sector, competitions or performances are a prerequisite for funding.
The deadline for submissions is Sunday, October 15. Group leaders are considered in the funding according to the guidelines of the city of Pforzheim. However, specific 2024 calls or open invitations for partner city encounters are not listed in the available sources.
It is worth noting that the city partnership with the Russian city of Irkutsk remains dormant due to the Ukraine war. For updated information on this, direct inquiries to Pforzheim city administration or its international relations office would be necessary.
If you are planning to submit an application, it is recommended to explore specialized funding databases for cultural/creative projects like creativesunite.eu for possible subsidies from regional or EU sources.
Further information on the partner cities, funding opportunities, and application forms can be found on the website of the city of Pforzheim at www.pforzheim.de/partnerstaedte.

Trips with predominantly tourist or private character are not funded by the city of Pforzheim. The city encourages applicants to consider cultural, educational, or municipal cooperation goals in their project proposals or encounter plans.
- To maximize the chance of receiving funding, participants should consider incorporating elements of lifestyle, travel, education-and-self-development in their project proposals, aligning them with the cultural, educational, or municipal cooperation goals of the city of Pforzheim.
- In addition to exploring the municipal grant from Pforzheim, participants may also benefit from seeking out funding opportunities in the education, travel, or lifestyle sectors, perhaps finding subsidies from regional or EU sources like creativesunite.eu for their exchange program.
