Talent Foundation e. V. – fostering creativity

Sustainability and charity Charity Talent Foundation e. V.

Developing talent, making dreams come true

Whether it is dance, music or acrobatics, artistic talent needs space, encouragement and the right support. But not everyone has the financial means to develop their talents. This is where the Talent Foundation e. V. comes in.

Since 2017, the foundation founded by Katja Mack has enabled children, teenagers and young adults to pursue their artistic dreams at the TALENT ACADEMY Europa-Park - regardless of financial hurdles. Scholarships, support programmes and financial assistance for competitions and further education are at the heart of the foundation's work.

Creativity should not be limited by finances.

An organisation that makes dreams come true

The establishment of the Talent Foundation e. V. was the logical consequence of the growth of the TALENT ACADEMY Europa-Park. Many young talents impress with their extraordinary abilities - but they often lack the means to take part in international competitions or high-quality further training. 
The foundation provides a platform to address this issue: To discover and promote talents and to give them a future.

Achieving great things together

The Talent Foundation e. V. supports young artists in a variety of ways. In addition to direct financial support, the talented individuals it supports are given access to special events and cultural projects.

The main funding measures include:

  • Scholarships for particularly talented young artists
  • Funding for further education and training camps
  • Support for national and international competitions
  • Funding for exhibitions and art projects
     

Thanks to these initiatives, many of the talented young students of the TALENT ACADEMY have already been able to celebrate great successes - including several German championship titles at the Hip Hop Championships and the world championship title at the Dance World Cup.
