On 26 September 2013, Anouchka Strunden moderated the cultural policy panel for the 4th festival of the "Explore Dance" - network for young audiences. The explore dance programme, a nationwide cooperation between Potsdam, Munich, Hamburg and Dresden/Hellerau, has been running since 2018. The programme shows contemporary dance in schools and teaches dance and artistic practices in a school context. The panel discussion centred on the question of how accessibility to dance for a young audience and artistic practices in the school context can be strengthened and structurally promoted.
Following the videotaped speech by Brandenburg's Minister of Culture, Manja Schüle, Anouchka Strunden led a discussion about the network's collaboration, programme and funding situation. The following spoke with her on stage at fabrik Potsdam:
- Dr. Daniela Rippl, Performing Arts Officer from the City of Munich's Department of Culture
