We have been connected with many of our international cooperation partners for a long time through the international ROOTS & ROUTES network; the RRCGN team has been working with some of them since the first international ROOTS & ROUTES project: So since 2005, much longer than RRCGN exists as a separate association. In recent years, however, many new partner organisations have joined.
Here we would like to introduce new and old international partner organisations and the projects we are carrying out together.

RRCGN is a non-profit association and we want to enable youth and young adults to participate in our offers regardless of their financial situation. Therefore, our offers are often free of charge or with very low participation fees: Membership fees, participation fees and income from the theatre box office only make up just under 3% of the association’s income. Our work is therefore largely made possible by financial support and donations.
Here we would like to present a selection of our supporters, as well as the projects they (co-)finance.
Basic funding for RRCGN since 2019(Currently in the scope of a full staff position plus overhead costs)
