The Association for Cultural Relations coordinates and carries on education and project development activities through cooperation with local and international partners. The ACR Finland is a member of extended networks and undertakes activities jointly with numerous partner organisations all across the world. Being a member of international networks, the ACR Finland also benefits from shared resources and collaboration. These connections make it possible to enhance the quality of activities and spread the values of cultural relations in Finland and abroad.

Mission

ACR Finland aims to promote social and cultural cohesion by fostering understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures within our community. The association strives to empower individuals through educational programs, workshops, and cultural events that celebrate heritage and encourage dialogue among different cultural groups. By advocating for inclusion and respect, we seek to create an environment where cultural diversity is valued as a strength, ultimately contributing to social harmony and sustainable development. ACR Finlands commitment to cultural values emphasizes the importance of empathy, cooperation, and mutual respect, ensuring that every voice is heard and every culture is honored.

Partners

The association collaborates with government agencies, higher education institutes, and organisations active in the fields of youth, education, and international/cultural relations on local and international levels. As an independent organisation such cooperation is based on mutual understanding to achieve mutual objectives that can serve the development of cultural relations within and outside Finland.

Sister organisations

ACR Finland is part of International Alliance for Cultural Relations and shares values and closely cooperates with its sister organisations in countries such as Hungary, Georgia, Ukraine, and Turkey. These organisations recognise the importance of transmitting their ideas and disseminating the outcomes of their efforts. Thus the association aims to develop the quality of its activities by initiating and carrying out joint actions with its sister organisation. The organisations operate independently but share the same values and ideas.

 

Call For Partnership

ACR Finland is eager to explore new partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to promoting cultures and fostering cultural understanding. We are open to various forms of collaboration that align with our core values. We look forward to connecting!
