DKC-HR

Social and cultural centers are institutions jointly managed by civil society and the public sector.

Such centers provide the local community with a sense of belonging and solidarity and are unconventional places for socializing, relaxing, talking, meeting, producing, presenting, educating, consulting and informing.

[2] The network is founded on the initiative of a total of nine members (union of associations, platforms and associations) who co-manage existing socio-cultural centers in the Republic of Croatia according to the principle of participatory management and develop models of civil-public partnerships in culture.

The establishment of the DKC Network arose from the need to strengthen the role of social and cultural centers in the Republic of Croatia.

In addition to the presentation of the results, it included panels on the practices of participatory management and civil-public partnership in socio-cultural centers in Croatia and the region.
