Afdeling Sociaal-Cultureel Werk - Department for Social-Cultural Work of the Ministry for Culture, Youth, Sports and Media

Who we are?

The most important task of the Adult Education and Local Cultural Policy division is to promote a rich and varied range of socio-cultural activities (primarily) for adults. It therefore aims to increase their general development and participation in society as well as giving more people the chance to participate in cultural life through a number of participation policy initiatives.

What we do?

The Department for Socio-Cultural Work for Young People and Adults consists of a Youth division and an Adult Education and Local Cultural Policy division. Together, their main objective is to promote a rich and differentiated range of socio-cultural activities that are organised on a non-commercial basis, in order to improve general development amongst all members of the public, whether children, young people or adults, and also to increase social and cultural participation.
