We reach over 3,000 sociocultural centres across Europe, with an aim to empower them and their communities.
About us
The European Network of Cultural Centres (ENCC) promotes dialogue and cooperation between social-oriented cultural centres throughout Europe. It is both a network of direct members and a ‘network of networks’. Today, the ENCC connects over 3000 cultural organisations in 27 countries, with very diverse structures, practices and audiences. We align on values of cultural equality, active citizenship, intercultural diversity and sustainability. The ENCC’s main action lines are capacity building, networking and advocacy. We organise meetings, conferences, training and staff exchanges, participate in research and data-gathering, create tools and publications, and connect with other actors from the cultural sector. We also support social and cultural innovation by mentoring international cooperation projects. Empowering cultural centres and their communities is our priority. The ENCC is co-funded by the Creative Europe networks strand of the European Union.

On #WorldRefugeeDay, our thoughts go to the millions of people displaced by war, oppression, and natural disasters. As Europe continues to witness the growth of the far right, we urge policy-makers to honor and uphold their commitments to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and to recognise the vital role the socio-cultural sector plays in promoting cohese and diverse communities and countering racism. Some years back, we took part in #MigrantMusicManifesto, which aimed to celebrate the languages and cultures of migrants and refugees through music. Find out a set of useful resources from the project, for both advocacy and cultural programming, here 👉https://rb.gy/i8874h #worldrefugeeday2024 #WithRefugees #refugeerights #humanrights
