KulturCommunity Basel
The KulturCommunity Basel initiative aims to make the cultural offerings in the canton of Basel more accessible. With the help of Basel institutions, cultural establishments and partners, it provides free offers that enable people in precarious living situations to take part in cultural experiences and meet others.

Experience culture together
«Go to a cultural event together» allows people to share experiences at Basel's cultural institutions (theater, music, dance, literature, etc.). The partners of the KulturCommunity provide their members with special offers for group visits or tandem visits with refugees, asylum seekers and those affected by poverty.
As a partner, you will be informed regularly of each event via email. Ticket requests are accepted by email and tickets are sent via post to the respective partners to distribute to participants in a timely manner.
Good to know
Are you a non-profit organisation, an aid organisation or a coordination office that is active in Basel and provides your community with offers for cultural experiences in groups or in tandem? Please contact us if you would like us to consider adding you to the list free of charge.
