European Cultural Centre
The European Cultural Centre is a cultural organization
originating back to 2002. Today we are a continuously
growing group of mainly young people who like to make
a positive difference, because we care. We created a
dynamic organization devoted to cultural exchanges,
organizing all kinds of cultural projects with not only
Europeans but people from all around the world. We
believe that progress is best made by raising a deeper
awareness about serious topics. We try to bring people
from very different cultures together in the hope that we
will all learn from each other. Naturally we have our own
opinions and we do like to promote our own values,
values in which we strongly believe. Nevertheless, we are
a non-political and non-religious organization, open to
all people, to all points of view, for as long as they respect
the freedom, the dignity and rights of every single living
being. The ECC-USA, based in New-York, mainly organ-
izes contemporary art and architecture exhibitions.

In addition, we organize symposiums, meetings, work-
shops, educational programs and many other cultural
events. Our own publications are an important part of our
activities, not only by documenting our events and projects,
but also by presenting different points of view, different
ideas, from people originating from many different cultures.
Our publications are raising awareness about the topics
Time, Space and Existence, thus building up and making
visible a platform for theoretical and artistic perspectives
on culture. The ECC-USA is part of the larger European
Cultural Centre Worldwide Satellite network and benefits
from all its global partnerships with educational and
cultural, governmental and non-governmental institutions,
like museums, foundations and several other private ini-
tiatives. The ECC has today established centers in the
USA, Belgium, India, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia,
South Africa, Spain and France. The European Cultural
Centre headquarters is in the Netherlands.
