BUILDING TRUST AND UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PEOPLES OF EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD THROUGH CULTURE
OUR MISSION AND VISION We believe in sharing good practices, promoting cultural diversity and mutual understanding across cultures. In 2006 EUNIC Global was established in Brussels in order to help our members build stronger partnerships and work better together. We have become a partner of the European Commission and other European institutions, working together to define and implement European cultural policy. Over the past 10 years EUNIC has evolved into a global network. We deliver transnational collaborative projects through our 36 members and more than 100 clusters. The EUNIC cluster Australia was founded in June 2018 and brings together the former clusters from Melbourne and Sydney. We work through a broad network across Australia. Our vision is to become the delivery, research and training partner of choice for cultural diplomacy and cultural relations at a European and international level by 2025. Our EUNIC Global Office in Brussels supports the work of EUNIC members and clusters around the world.
