Projects in Trier (selection)
Since 2021: Art-themed children's birthday parties
This year, in cooperation with Treffpunkt am Weidengraben eV and the Ambrosiusgrundschule, we are giving 10 children, for whom this is not a given, a birthday party with their friends. An artist will paint or craft with the birthday child and their guests. There will also be cake and games.
The project will be financed in 2026 through private donations as well as corporate donations from Jam-Software and VET-Concept.

The project was supported by the city of Trier.

Once a week, our band “Jal-Minds” rehearses with their band coach. The band is made up of young people between the ages of 11 and 18 who make music together. The teens play electric guitar, electric bass, keyboard, drums, and sing. Listen to a sample.
The “Jal-Minds” are a cooperation project of KRASS e.V., the children and youth department of Bürgerhaus Trier-Nord eV and the Karl-Berg-Musikschule of the city of Trier.
The project was funded in 2024 by the Federal Association of Popular Music (Bundesverband Popularmusik eV) as part of the "Pop to go" funding program within the framework of "Culture Makes You Strong. Alliances for Education."
