Kölnchella
In the queer-intersectional youth festival series “Kölnchella”, which emerged from iJuLa, various public events took place from 2022 to 2024, the largest of which was the Kölnchella Summer Festival.
A format for the sustainable development of young artists into coaches at an international level. Participants are developed into self-confident peer coaches, youth workers, and changemakers.
Artists from 6 to 10 countries. Two weeks of jointly developing ideas, pieces of music, scenes. A joint transdisciplinary production. Join in!
Every year in November, we travel with young artists from several countries to the North Sea island of Baltrum. Between dunes, storms, and sandy beaches, exciting artistic projects are created in small groups.

Once again, the ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy will be held as part of the project “iJuLa – intersectional YouthLaboratories in the Veedel”. Registrations for young artists are still possible.
In October 2020, 18 members of the iJuLa youth curatorium set off from Cologne to Heek: At the 10-day iJuLa Kick-off Academy, ideas for offers, workshops and events in the future iJuLa space were developed.
The annual fall break workshop week “ROOTS & ROUTES goes Bergisch Gladbach” took place in 2020 linked to the project “iJuLa – intersectional youth labs in the Veedel”. Along the theme “Hip-Hop for Democracy”, 29 young people dealt artistically with the topic of “fear”.
After a four-year break, the ROOTS & ROUTES Peer Coach Academy finally took place again in 2021 – this time as part of the project “iJuLa – intersectional YouthLabs in Cologne”. 20 young artists took part in the block seminar phase in Heek.
The iJuLa project opens spaces in Cologne, in which artistic work on intersectional and queer topics can take place. We invite young artists to create these spaces with us and fill them with life and ideas.
