Getting involved

Wherever you look - makers everywhere! 1300 volunteers were involved in the volunteers programme alone. They were the ambassadors of the Capital of Culture, they helped the guests and also worked in the background. The year would not have been possible without the many people in the region who made this year their year. They added their two cents, did their bit, supported their favourite project and lent a hand where it was needed. Thank you!

Volunteer programme

The Chemnitz 2025 volunteer programme will remain active even after the Capital of Culture year and will be further expanded: having already seen numerous volunteers support cultural events in the city, the programme is now once again accepting new applicants.

The infrastructure that has been established and the experience gained are to be preserved in the long term and carried forward as a lasting legacy of Chemnitz 2025. This will create a permanent cultural volunteering scheme that firmly anchors voluntary work in Chemnitz’s cultural life.
