About the project

kultur-multur.org is a non-governmental organization based in Prague with an aim to promote integration of foreigners through intercultural dialogue. The primary focus is Central Asian diaspora.

From the geo-political point of view the Central Asia is often seen as limited with the former Soviet Asian countries, so called Five Stans - Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. From cultural and anthropological point of view, however, the region comprises vast areas from Mongolia, Siberia, Inner Mongolia and Sincian-Ujgur Autonomous Rayon of Western China, Central Asia per ser, to Afghanistan and Iran, if not more. The thousands years of common history and interconnectedness of these nations along the ancient Silk Road truly enables us to see the region as a closely related social and cultural entity.

The Central Asian community in Czech Republic and Europe is diverse and in a certain ways, quite young. It remains small in numbers yet it is distinctly multicultural, multilingual, educated and motivated.

kultur-multur.org aims to help build bridges through means of cultural events as concerts, seminars and discussions at various forums, including schools, universities and festivals.
