Over ons

The Yemeni-Belgian Cultural Center aims to strengthen the cultural ties between Yemen and Belgium, contribute to spreading Yemeni culture in Belgium, and introduce Belgian society to Yemeni history, traditions, and arts. The centre's goals include:

1. Promoting Cultural Exchange: Organising cultural events such as art exhibitions, lectures, seminars, musical performances, and artistic shows that showcase Yemeni culture.
2. Education and Awareness: Offering classes in the Arabic language and Yemeni culture, as well as organising workshops on Yemeni heritage and arts.
3. Supporting the Yemeni Community: Responding to the needs of the Yemeni community in Belgium by providing spaces for communication and cooperation, and informing them about their rights in Belgian society.
4. Strengthening Cooperation between Cultural Institutions: Working with Belgian cultural institutions to promote collaboration and understanding between the two cultures.
5. Documenting and Preserving Heritage: Working to preserve Yemeni cultural heritage through documentation projects and initiatives to safeguard Yemeni arts and traditions.

The centre's vision is to build bridges between the Yemeni and Belgian peoples, strengthen mutual understanding, and promote cultural exchange between the two countries.

Founded by a group of volunteers who believe in the power of culture to build communities, the center has since welcomed hundreds of participants to its programs and events.
