Education! Culture! Civic action!
The Citizens’ Forum is a study centre for associations that inspires cultural and civic activities.
We support active citizenship through communal and arts-based learning and offer you the opportunity to develop yourself through culture, art and joint activities.
Learn new things, harness your creativity and be encouraged to act!
