In order to foster common cultural projects such as film festivals, theater productions, and exhibitions featuring artists between German and French institutions the Robert Bosch Foundation initiates the funding programme DUO. During one year, two cultural institutions work together in tandem, and have the opportunity to send an employee to the partner institution during two to four weeks. The exchange is funded by the Robert Bosch Foundation. The participants should benefit from the stay by getting to know the partner institution’s conceptual policy, their program planning, and work approach, and by identifying synergistic effects.

The Federal Cultural Foundation's Fund Wanderlust awards funding to German municipal and state theatres which would like to establish long-term partnerships with foreign theatres. The goal of the fund is to support partnerships in their entirety, those that involve the exchange of artistic personnel, reciprocal guest performances and joint theatre productions.

The European Union supports in line with the Programme Culture 2007-2013 perennial cooperation projects between cultural institutions from different countries. It offers assistance possibilities for all cultural sectors and for all kinds of cultural actors.

TANZFONDS PARTNER funds the cooperation of one dance institution – company, dance venues or choreographic centre – and one school. Such a format will forge particularly close links between the partners involved. The partners will ideally create a co-operative alliance that will continue once the initial funding period has ended.

Aim of the founding is to integrate dance into the partner schools over the long terms. So it will become a natural part of everyday life at the schools beside other art forms.
