Clubture Network
Association of NGO's Clubture
The Clubture network is conceived as a catalyst for a more intensive and long term strengthening and connecting of the un-institutionalized cultural scene into a cooperative network made up of a series of nonprofit, un-institutionalized organizations, on the basis of mutually defined interests and aims: decentralization of cultural production, permanent cooperation based on the exchange of programs and mutual work on projects, intensification of the public presence and fortification of influences aimed at defining cultural policies on local, national, regional and international levels.
Clubture is member of:
Culture Action Europe, Brussels
Alliance for the Center for Independent culture and Youth, Zagreb
Croatian Youth Network, Zagreb
Anna Lindh Foundation, Alexandria
Current basic programs:
CLUBTURE HR - PROGRAMME EXCHANGE
Programme exchange is a key activity of the Clubture network and one of the main reasons for its existence. It is based on the direct collaboration
between individual members (NGOs, informal initiatives and artistic organizations), which share cultural content and/or mutually create projects and programmes. The key to the six-year success of this programme is that it ensures genuine collaboration between a large number of participants and a greater diversity of contents.
CLUBTURE'S REGIONAL INITIATIVE
The Clubture network has taken the lead in the process of creating a shared regional programme and a network for project collaboration in several ex-Yugoslav countries. The basic idea of the programme is to establish
a regional collaborative platform within which independent cultural organizations can collaborate on joint programmes. Although the Clubture network initiated this programme, a wide circle of organizations and potential
partners, from Croatia as well as other countries, have been involved in defining its basic aims and goals.
PORTAL KULTURPUNKT.HR
In 2005 the portal Kulturpunkt.hr was started with the aim of promoting and presenting cultural production of independent scene, and the civic initiatives connected to it that are running the process
of public advocacy focused on wider social issues. Apart from these aims, Kulturpunkt.hr encourages analytical and critical approach towards cultural topics in general, taking care to avoid the tendency toward a culture of sensationalism.
