About Me
  • Centro InterCulturaCidade is an independent not-for-profit association working on the valuing of arts and cultural diversity as a tool for social an economic inclusion, community cohesion and intercultural ; It is located in the historical district of Poço dos Negros / S. Bento area, a reference are for  the Cape-Verdean migrant community in Lisbon.

The Centre opened its doors in 2004 as a key-element of an EU-funded project (EQUAL Initiative) focussing on preventing discrimination and ethnic and racial discrimination and managed by a development partnership of  public and private organizations. In 2010  it was only formally established as an association due to the an initiative of people from various nationalities and backgrounds who joined forces to keep it running after the end of the EU-funded project.

Today, Centro InterCulturaCidade works in co-operation with different networks and structures in Portugal and internationally, namely Animar (Portuguese Association for Local Development), Rede DLBC Lisboa (Lisbon network for community-led local development), Citizens for Europe and European network of intercultural Centres (a project inspired and supported by the Council of Europe through its Intercultural Cities Programme)
