The Stichting Caucasus Foundation is based in the Netherlands and has its head office in Tbilisi
(Georgia). The Stichting Caucasus Foundation supports Caucasian countries currently in the process of
integration with other European countries in the field of culture; at the same time it looks for new
forms of cultural cooperation worldwide. The Foundation sets up and implements programmes and
events in art and culture for professional artists, in order to promote open and democratic societies
within the Caucasus region.
SCF implements joint projects with different countries and introduces modern methodologies into
education systems; IBCCP supports the creative initiative and self-assertion of young artists, and
provides a cultural space for performing arts management.
The SCF provides short-term courses, seminars and workshops in performing arts management,

international cooperation in the arts, performing arts management (funding, budget planning),
sponsorship (methods, funding strategies, case studies) and management for cultural policy. Seminar
