Published:
Welcome to KULTURANTARA 2026 – Deutsche Schule Jakarta welcomes our partner schools from New Delhi, Kuala Lumpur, Chiang Mai, Bangkok, and Manila for a week of creativity, culture, and connection.
Dear students, dear colleagues, dear parents, distinguished guests,
a very warm welcome to the Kulturfestspiele 2026 – Kulturantara – at Deutsche Schule Jakarta! 💛
Over the coming days, our campus becomes a vibrant space for exchange – a place where culture connects across borders, languages, and traditions.
From
April 22 to 26, we will experience a diverse program of art, music, dance, theatre, crafts, and media – created by dedicated teachers and, above all, by our students. This festival is far more than a presentation of creative work; it is a space for collaboration, shared learning, and new perspectives.

Throughout the festival, we’ll be sharing daily insights, student work, and the most exciting moments as they happen.
We warmly invite you to join us for the Opening Ceremony on Wednesday, April 22 at 18:30, as we celebrate the beginning of these special days together in a festive and welcoming atmosphere.
You are also very welcome to attend the Closing Event on Saturday, April 25, starting with a guided exhibition walk at 15:45, followed by the final celebration in the aula at 16:45, where we will reflect on the many experiences and moments shared throughout the festival.
The workshops reflect the spirit of Kulturantara and highlight what defines our approach: holistic education, creative freedom, and international openness – always connected to the local culture that surrounds us.
My sincere thanks go to everyone who has contributed to making this festival possible – our teachers, organizers, host families, and supporters. A special thanks also goes to Atiqa (Grade 12), who created the visual identity of Kulturantara, including the logo and the merchandise set for all participants.
As hosts, it means a great deal to us to share these days with you, and we would be delighted to welcome many of you in person. I wish all of us inspiring workshops, memorable performances, and many shared moments.
Selamat datang – herzlich willkommen – welcome to Kulturantara 2026!
Warm regards,
Jörg Dietze
