The online discussion “Joint Effort. Engagement of local communities in development of culture centers” will take place on 6 August at 11:00 Moscow time as part of the “Culture Centers-XXI: culture, education, development” program. 

Willing to give help? Ask people what they need.

Participation of the local residents in the work of the culture centers, apart from the possibility to respond to the new requests promptly, allows launching new projects and programs, as well as to build, within the culture center’s environment, a full-fledged, committed, robust and creative community.
