Heide Schönfeld

Heide Schönfeld works as a project coordinator for cultural education at Wider Sense TraFo. Keeping an eye on the big picture as well as the details, she moderates, advises and coordinates the Kulturstiftung des Bundes, the Kulturstiftung der Länder and the Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung in the redesign of a joint nationwide congress on cultural education.

Thanks to her many years of experience as a project coordinator and manager in various projects such as „Kulturagenten für kreative Schulen“ and „Kunstlabore„, which were funded by the Stiftung Mercator and the Kulturstiftung des Bundes, she has in-depth knowledge of artistic processes and their mediation. With her expertise in process-oriented networking, project and event management and her knowledge of funding structures and actors, Heide Schönfeld drives projects forward and creates new spaces for creative ideas.

Following her artistic interest and the tangible world of numbers, Heide Schönfeld studied cultural studies and aesthetic practice at the University of Hildesheim with a focus on music, literature, cultural management and business administration. As a co-author, she published the book “ Kunstlabore: Für mehr Kunst in Schulen!”, which shows in depth and in a practical manner quality criteria and potentials of artistic work in schools.
