EUNIC Afghanistan
EUNIC is the network of the international cultural relations institutes from the member states of the European Union. They seek to facilitate cultural co-operation; to create lasting partnerships between professionals, to encourage greater understanding and awareness of the diverse European cultures and to encourage greater language learning.
The British Council, the Institut Francais d’Afghanistan (IFA) and the Goethe-Institut Afghanistan are forming the EUNIC-Cluster in Afghanistan.
All institutes look back to long time of partnership with the Afghan cultural scene reaching back into the 1960s and are now sharing their experiences with their local partners among various other projects in the Afghan National Theatre Festival and the International Documentary and Short Film Festival.
