National assignment: "Interdisciplinary experimentarium for communication with children and young people" (colloquially called TEx)
The Interdisciplinary Experimentarium (TEx) is a 3-year development project initiated by Kulturprinsen, supported by Kulturregion Østjysk Vækstbånd and the Ministry of Culture. TEx aims to make children and young people visible actors in cultural institutions, strengthen the quality of existing cultural offerings and create interdisciplinary dialogue between institutions in the cultural region. The TEx project has tried to create a good framework for the open exploration and development of innovative dissemination projects for children and young people. Through a "Project Development Programme" (the so-called "PUF meetings"), cultural mediators from Horsens, Silkeborg, Randers and Viborg have gained new knowledge and an expanded network over a period of one year, and have finally come together in project groups across institutional, professional and municipal boundaries. In December 2010, four of the projects thus developed were awarded funding from a separate TEx grant to implement the project either in its entirety or as a pilot project. The development and implementation of the various exhibitions, performances, workshops and tools is now in full swing and will be finalised during 2011. Kulturprinsen will finally collect and disseminate the lessons learned. The consultancy Manto and the Children's Culture Network are evaluating the process.
