What we want
We recognise that society faces huge challenges and that for a new and united Europe to work, integration is key - and that means uniting the economic, cultural and social capital of our region.
We develop ideas and concepts to increase social participation and ensure that no-one is left out, whatever their circumstances - which in turn creates more stable, effective and fairer societies.
We research and document the culture of Central and South Eastern Europe, because we believe that promoting knowledge and understanding helps to create a positive, shared future. We initiate and support contemporary cultural production.
European integration is important to us. We want to work against prejudice and nationalism, to integrate thinking and living across borders, and make these experiences accessible, particularly to the young generation.
We want to play an active role in giving people opportunities to increase their understanding of each other.
