Dagesh on Tour is a cultural education programme that conveys various dimensions of Jewish life in Germany using the arts. The programme organises creative workshops for children and young people aged 8-18 throughout Germany.
The workshops provided by Dagesh on Tour employ creative and emancipatory methods to provide artistic insights into different dimensions of pluralistic Jewish life in Germany, thus making them tangible to participants. The collaboration between Jewish contemporary artists and educators using contemporary Jewish art as a resource in art education is a novelty within the cultural education landscape in Germany. In this way, the workshop leaders’ own artistic processes and output serve as the reference points and resources used to open the landscape of Jewish life and art in Germany to the programme’s participants.
