Background, orientation and purpose
Profiles: Poland
The National Cultural Centre was established in 2002 by combining three public institutions; the
largest of these, the Centre for the Animation of Culture, was established in 1950. The main objectives
of the new institution are:
- to promote the national heritage as an element within European cultural heritage;
- to develop a concept of culture as a topic in its own right, which is a factor in socioeconomic
development and civic education;
- to inspire cultural movements and active participation in the culture of local communities;
- to gather and spread information about culture; and
- to acquire non-budgetary financial resources from local and foreign funds.
