 Members of local communities can enjoy both the cultural program that the project offers, as well as discover art for themselves.
+====== Justification for the project ======
+//Presentation of the initial situation in your region / municipality, brief description of the cultural landscape as well as the challenges and needs.//
-===== Renovation - Phase 1 =====
+In Heiligengrabe and the surrounding areas, there are very few cultural institutions, little cultural support for the youth, little international cultural tourism and very little theater or theater groups.
-The restoration of the old part of the mill will include:
+There are relatively many visual artists in the region but few exhibition venues.
+But in the adjoining building of Kuckucksmühle, a centuries-old, protected water mill from the 16th century, we will create a place that will fill this vacuum.
-  * replacing the roof beams
+Kuckucksmühle is in the process of establishing an association to conserve the listed building, an ecological, open, self-sustaining community has already been founded, and the members want to use and develop modern, open technologies.
-  * repair the roof
-  * install insulation
-  * install electrical and networking cables
-  * renovate the interior
-  * renovate the old wooden staircase
-  * install new heating system
-  * ...
-Funding is also needed for:
+In the adjoining building, this project is now a house in which we want to create a hackerspace for filmmakers, writers, actors and artists. Not only can we use the networks of the aforementioned association, the Kuckucksühle is already a well-known place for events over the last decades and even the older people of the towns still gladly remember these times.
-  * consultation of professional services for renovation
+Therefore, this project not only closes a cultural gap in the region, it is also one of the best places to bring culture back to life.
-===== Furnishing - Phase 2 =====
-We will purchase the following equipment to reach our goals
-  * projector
+===== Implementation Summary =====
-  * 1x specialised computer
-  * 3D printer
-  * sound system
-  * monitors
-  * ...
-===== Events - Phase 3 =====
+In 2017 the land and the use of buildings are rented for 2018 (2018-2020 each: 2000 €). These include: a house that needs to be restored and has a 1000 m² area as well as a bakery, a wine cellar, a room, a bathroom, a kitchen to offer concerts and events before and during the restoration. The planning of the restoration of the house is also started. In 2018, the restoration of the house will start for the project, which will be completed in the second year (2018: 55,000 € (Inv.) + 5000 €, 2017: 15,000 € (Inv.), 7000 €).
-We will set up a Hackerspace / centre where the local community can come and create art in various diverse forms including:
+During the build-up phase, the context for building the hackerspace is published and its intention clearly communicated and requested voluntary cooperation and assistance. In addition, presence is shown at local events and is promoted for our project and the establishment of a voluntary organizational structure strongly supported. The networking with artists from the region will also be greatly expanded and invited to exhibit at the project house and at events and to use our tools.
-  * provide a space for and support theater productions
+In the adjoining building, the Kuckucksmühle e. V. whose members are already very well connected within the region will support both the establishment of the voluntary organizational structure and the promotion of the events.
-  * provide a space for and support concerts
-  * video and visual media
-  * a quiet and reflective space for creative writing & literature
-  * design & architecture
-  * 3D printing courses / workshops and practice sessions
-  * art installations
-  * ...
-We define Hackerspace as a place of creativity where people can work individually or collectively toward our [[:ideals]]
+At the end of the restoration, we will have an inauguration event to open the building and the program will be planned and promoted for the next periods; Equally appropriate for use for theater groups, visual artists and self-organization-like public events. The premises are equipped with 3D printers, stage equipment, computer for video processing (4000 €). After further determination of the needs in the application case, further equipment will be purchased in 2020 for 1,500 €.
-Funding will also be needed for:
+After the publication, at least two public events are offered and organized per month. The theater will be constantly available for rehearsals, (forming) artists, authors and filmmakers by appointment. It will be open to local communities to organize their own events.
-  * Consultation services to make this project a success with the local community
+The members of the voluntary organizational structure including applicants are responsible for:
+  * To organize the restoration of the building
+  * To organize the events financially so that all costs are covered
+  * To integrate the local municipalities so that they can organize them themselves
+  * Advertising for artists of all kinds
+  * Development of theater groups and artists' associations
+  * An open space for a constant exhibition preferred by local artists
+  * Documentation of all processes leading to the creation of similar projects
-====== Justification for the project ======
+An infrastructure is set up with this project, which encourages the local municipalities to become active co-authors in organizing and maintaining events in which the following steps are taken:
+  * Establishment of a network of interested local groups using local tables, local meetings and events
+  * Building an infrastructure that is independent and provides written processes that allow everyone to organize events themselves that fall within the framework of the project
+  * Assistance in the organization and advertising of the events
+  * Establishment of an annual calendar with sufficient flexibility to integrate further local community events

+===== Lessons Learnt =====
-In the adjoining building, this project is now a house in which we want to create a hackerspace for filmmakers, writers, actors and artists. Not only can we use the networks of the aforementioned association, the Kuckucksühle is already a well-known place for events over the last decades and even the older people of the towns still gladly remember these times.
+==== Don't procrastinate ====
+The application took about 30 hours to put together, the final result is an unpolished rushed version in order to make the deadline. A good estimate for a well polished application would be around 50 hours. Add more time if German is not your first language and there is little experience in putting together applications.
+Post the application well in advance of the deadline.
-Therefore, this project not only closes a cultural gap in the region, it is also one of the best places to bring culture back to life.
