The Free State of Bavaria has set itself the goal of being climate-neutral by 2040. This challenge also affects the Bavarian cultural sector. The task now is to determine what concrete contribution the cultural sector can make and what measures are necessary to achieve the climate targets. There is also the question of obligations and a strategy for implementing sustainability, as well as funding programs and contact points.
bink - Bavaria's initiative for sustainable culture
Under the motto "Together for sustainable culture in Bavaria", Bavaria's Initiative for Sustainable Culture (bink for short) is now starting its work. The competence center accompanies state and non-state cultural institutions in Bavaria on their way to an environmentally friendly future and offers concrete support in achieving the climate neutrality goals that have been set. The focus is on taking sustainable measures and developing innovative concepts and strategies.
bink is an initiative of the Bavarian Center for Cultural and Creative Industries (bayernkreativ), which is supported by Bayern Innovativ GmbH, and is implemented on behalf of the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts.
The target group
The offer is aimed at state and non-state cultural institutions in Bavaria that operate on a non-profit basis and provide a publicly accessible cultural offering, such as libraries, archives, theaters, museums and concert halls.
The offer
The initiative supports the cultural sector in dealing effectively and responsibly with the challenges of sustainability with a wide range of services - from detailed sustainability checks to orientation talks and information events as well as the identification of funding opportunities, contact points and good practices and the opportunity to network. Transformation managers are on hand to provide advice and support to interested cultural institutions and organizations. The range of services offered by bink is constantly being expanded.
