the Public Value of Culture for Social Cohesion and Urban Development in Africa

Culture at Work Africa (2018-2021) aims to support 33 projects in 15 countries in Africa. They aim to develop safe and neutral spaces for intercultural dialogue, strengthen multi-stakeholders cooperation and promote citizenship and intercommunity relations.

 

In this large European cooperation project with Africa, BOZAR’s goal is to highlight the crucial role of culture, by showcasing how talented and dedicated professionals strive to foster intercultural dialogue in their communities.
