Welcome to the innovative cultural model platform Kiel_ Greenline.
Our goal is to culturally enrich our region in a time of transformation and to create sustainable structures.
Kiel_ Greenline primarily combines cultural work in times of transformation with the creative economy. Transformation can be beneficial when new ideas and approaches are developed. Together with Kiel partners and friendly cities, the project aims to see this transformation as an opportunity and use geographical conditions and geopolitical developments to advance sustainable cultural cooperation that is linked to economic developments.
Kiel_ Greenline is being developed step by step and cooperates with local, nationwide and European institutions, such as universities, which research sustainable cultural work models and provide an extensive database.
Kiel_ Greenline will regularly host panel discussions, lectures, delegate programs and art productions, as well as create spaces for social discourse and provide a platform for cooperation and partnerships.
Following the extremely successful Kiel Greenline Meeting 2025, we would like to open up the circle further in 2026 and once again invite experienced experts from the fields of art and culture to Kiel on May 10. The local and regional scene is cordially invited to exchange ideas with international experts and actors, follow inspiring panels and get to know individual presentations of selected lighthouse projects.
The invited guests include renowned actors from Norway, the Netherlands, Scotland and Belgium, who cover a wide range from festival directors to art exports to leading cultural institutions. In Kiel, artistic practice and cultural-political decision-making processes come together — combined through stimulating discussions, new perspectives and lively exchange.
The Kiel Green Salon will take place on May 10 at Kiel Science Center (Wissenschaftszentrum Kiel). As soon as the detailed program is published, we invite all interested parties to register. Since the Frequenz Festival is taking place in parallel, festival tickets will be available online from March.
We are looking forward to a productive meeting in Kiel and to welcoming committed stakeholders from Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein and all other federal states.
