>                    Ifa's role is to promote dialogue between cultures
>                    and to help them to form a clearer picture of each
>                    other. Ifa operates as an organization mediating
>                    German foreign cultural policy. The Institute is
>                    funded by the Foreign Office, the state of
>                    Baden-Württemberg and the city of Stuttgart.
>
>                    One of ifa's particular fields of interest is fine
>                    art. Ifa initiates a direct cultural dialogue by
>                    presenting exhibitions by well-known German artists
>                    all over the world, and of foreign art in ifa's
>                    galleries in Stuttgart, Berlin and Bonn. There is a
>                    wide range of material and theoretical support for
>                    artists at home and abroad. There have been no
>                    suitable funding instruments in the Federal
>                    Republic to date for people involved in arranging
>                    and realizing fine art exhibitions. Ifa, in the
>                    course of its many contacts with curators as part
>                    of its own exhibition activities, has established
>                    that there is a great need for further education in
>                    museum and cultural management in many
>                    transformation countries. Opportunities for active
>                    education are needed, not theoretical training.
>                    Without material support from the German side it
>                    would not be possible for target groups to
>                    undertake a stay of this kind. The Rave scholarship
>                    is to be seen as an investment that will bear not
>                    just bear fruit in the short term, but in the long
>                    term as well. The scholarship-winner will not just
>                    acquire information, but will be able to
>                    participate actively in and then exploit the
>                    practical experience gained in Germany in his or
>                    her own home country.
