Kulturtanken is a state professional body whose main task is to promote art and culture for children and young people in Norway. The agency has national responsibility for the Cultural School Bag (DKS), which is a program to ensure that pupils in primary school have access to art and cultural activities. This initiative aims to enrich the students' learning environment and give them the opportunity to experience different art forms.
Kulturtanken works to develop and coordinate the offer within DKS, as well as to support and guide municipalities and schools in the implementation of cultural activities. Through collaboration with artists, cultural institutions and the education sector, Kulturtanken contributes to strengthening the cultural offer for young people in Norway.
