We believe in unity in diversity, and this vision of integrity is the core thought process behind the creation of the organization Cultural Association EU
We are an open platform where we can represent our rich cultural heritage in our own way so that we can feel the heartbeat of our own country in this western world, also we can uplift and promote our culture towards the larger communities of the world!
As per our current scope we are trying to unite people from the various communities together so that we can celebrate our own cultural festivals together as a family.
We believe in togetherness without having any personal monetary gain, thus we will provide non-profit voluntary services towards the society.
