Mission and Objectives

SC's cultural programme is defined nominally and conceptually into CULTURE OF CHANGE, following the very essence of the Student center, as cultural, social and international meeting point of students and young artists which is characterized by generation shift. Each generation has its interests, its needs and has to have a possibility to realize them.
Our main goal is to create new, innovative, economic, educational and effective modules and frameworks of cultural production in order to influence cultural policies in Croatia and wider.
SC is a place which continually generates new movements on the artistic scene in the fields of visual arts, music, radio, film theater, festival, public discussions, workshops and multimedial projects.
