European Network of Cultural Centres

European Network of Cultural Centres We unite socio-cultural centres and their networks across Europe and beyond, for training, advocacy and cooperation.

We were founded in 1994 to promote dialogue and cooperation between social-oriented cultural centres in Europe. Today, we unite 150+ members, from local, regional, and national networks of cultural organisations, to individual cultural centres in direct interaction with their communities and citizens. Our members align on values such as cultural equality, intercultural diversity, and sustainabilit

y. Empowering cultural centres and their communities is our priority. Our main action lines are capacity building, networking, and advocacy. Our work is funded by the Creative Europe funding scheme of the European Union.

The staff exchange season is in full swing!

Back in June, Afua Agyare from Belgian cultural centre de Warande travelled to London for a very formative experience at Albany Deptford.

"The biggest lesson for me was seeing how The Albany truly functions as a community hub. Everyone there shares the same space naturally, creating a welcoming atmosphere where people from different backgrounds can meet. I also appreciated how community engagement is embedded in every aspect of the organisation.
The insights I gained will definitely inform my future work."

SPARSE Plus 2023-2027 is a -funded project engaging 11 partners from 8 countries. Discover more and read the research report at the link in comments.
