Cultural agreement Southern Jutland-Schleswig

Within the Southern Jutland-Schleswig Cultural Agreement, borderless cultural life can flourish with diversity as a breeding ground, and the area's cultural qualities can be strengthened and further developed in close cooperation.

Over the past 25 years, there have been countless Danish-German cultural projects across the border, and the cultural agreement has a significant share in this work.
