Situated in Zagreb’s’ most populated Boroughs (Trešnjevka South and Trešnjevka North) – with over 150 000 population, CEKATE is both a neighborhood socio cultural centre and a meeting point for various cultural and artistic events.

In partnership with other institutions, we organize and conduct researches in cultural habits.
Our programmes bring together people from different age groups and walks of life. Very often our activities attract mixed age groups.
For 2WARdS Europe we had brought together senior citizens with young dynamic professionals in joint workshops. The participants of the workshops gained intergenerational experiences and intercultural competencies.
