Racines aisbl
Racines is an international non-profit association working to integrate culture into public policies for human, social and economic development.

And that cultural action can provide solutions to the problems of peace, sustainable development and cultural diversity. To do this, the cultural operators came together to provide tools for diagnosis and decision-making (research, evaluation, mapping, etc.), advocacy to strengthen creative freedom (freedom of expression, status of the artist, authors’ rights, etc.), professionalisation of cultural operators around the world (training, networking, etc.), and joint work and exchanges between professionals from all countries.
