Become a member of Culture Academy

Regular membership

Apply for membership

We value a calm, well-functioning community with an ideal learning environment. For that to work, membership needs to be right for both sides. To begin with, we can get to know each other in a relaxed trial session and arrange an induction appointment. After this process, you can submit your membership application online. If you need help completing it, please contact the office .

Regular membership fees are 40,00 Euro for children and young people up to age 27. From age 27, the fee is 50,00 Euro for adults. We charge no hidden additional fees: no admission charges, no annual or insurance fee – use of all the association’s activities is covered by one solidarity-based contribution. You can leave the association at the end of a calendar year or half-year by giving three months’ notice.

Our smartphone app (Android / iOS) also links to the membership application system.

Supporting membership

Apply for supporting membership

If you would like to support our work directly but cannot actively take part in our activities, or would like your financial contribution to support disadvantaged groups, you can apply for supporting membership. Supporting members help us fulfil our statutory aims and, for example, enable people with fewer financial resources to participate. Donors can also provide direct sponsorships for children and young people.

Supporting members can choose their own contribution. Every single euro really does count. You can leave at any time without a notice period.

Membership despite disadvantage

Sometimes finances are difficult, or training in a group is still too challenging. In these cases, we find individual solutions in consultation with you . Options include:

  1. An application for Bildung und Teilhabe (education and participation support) can be attached directly to the membership application with proof of eligibility.
  2. Apply for a micro-scholarship with a brief explanation.
    1. This may allow a temporary reduction in fees for socially disadvantaged people.
    2. Submit an informal request with a brief explanation in the membership application.
  3. Support during the transition and integration process
    1. Possible inclusion in funded educational activities
    2. Temporary one-to-one consultations to help you join the groups
    3. Alternatively, long-term support through personal training
