People »     People are the heart of our society. Without people, places are simply spaces of emptiness.   Araliya Foundation strives towards the participation of all people in society, celebrating diversity by emphasizing culture and cooperation.   We believe that culture and art can be bridges between people, and are to be celebrated both as a means of communicating identity and shared elements as well as an aesthetic form of representing the self.   Araliya Foundation seeks to employ artistic and  cultural projects, stimulating participation by a broad audience (including non-mainstream groups such as immigrants, elderly people and youth). We also invite people to participate and interact themselves with art and culture, sharing the experience and exploring eachother's diversities.

Art & Culture»

For 2010, Araliya Foundation plans to expand its activities in the field of art and culture by setting up awareness raising activities in the field of (results of) international development cooperation, people, planet and peace. Activities will be organised with various partner organisations and institutions. Keep an eye on the agenda for more information!
