Overview
Mission
The mission of interculture foundation is to create bridges between cultures, communities and people, to foster understanding, compassion, and collaboration, through education, health, career opportunities, and the arts.
What it reported doing in 2025
In the BEC project, we continue our work in supporting entrepreneurship education in Bulgaria. Also this year we continue funding the creation of an animated film to be released in Bulgaria that teaches children and their parents how to recognize mental health crises, as well as support healing and mental wellness. Create the Space continues to grow in its vision of Black male mental wellness, through shared vulnerability, healing, connection, and growth, supported by yoga and movement, men's groups and retreats. We took on sponsorship of a new program, The Night's Watch, which provides anti drink spiking education to venues.
