COOPERATIONS

Based in Wiltz in the north of Luxembourg, COOPERATIONS is located at the premises of a former brewery comprising a total area of 5,000 m².

In 1990, a number of Wiltz residents and local organisations got together and founded the non-profit association COOPERATIONS. The programmes supported by COOPERATIONS promote interrelations between art, social participation and the development of rural spaces. As a cultural services provider, COOPERATIONS has been commissioned by the Council of Wiltz to operate the regional cultural centre Prabbeli . The centre’s varied programme, which also includes the Nuit des Lampions and the Festival de Wiltz , attracts a broad audience, both from Luxembourg and abroad.

COOPERATIONS also supports a variety of other projects; e.g. the ‘living work of art’ Jardin de Wiltz , initiated in the early 1980s as an artistic and social project and realized by a group of local residents, artists and people with disabilities; or the Jugendbureau , our latest project, a platform for political education for children and young people.

The main goal of COOPERATIONS is to facilitate social inclusion and social, cultural and professional participation and give people a sense of belonging. COOPERATIONS is dedicated to developing the potentials of people and places and promotes interaction between art and the social and physical environment.
