THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN COLLABORATIVE

The mission of the Central European Collaborative is to build respect for Romania’s cultural identity and to foster a mutually beneficial dialogue between ASU, Romanian dignitaries, universities, and artist groups of both countries by creating a bridge of mutual understanding and cooperation between American and Romanian universities.

The Collaborative achieves this mission by facilitating numerous cultural, artistic, and scholarly exchanges between U.S. faculty and students, and faculty at Romanian academic institutions and all other cultural and academic organizations from East-Central Europe. For the past 10 years, U.S. students have experienced Romania’s art and culture by participating in the Summer Program to Romania and Central Europe. The information exchange is expanded and offered to the larger American audience by bringing visiting scholars, artists and dignitaries from Romania to the Arizona campus. For the past 8 years, the ASU Romanian program has also developed a theatrical collaboration between ASU and the National Theatre in Cluj, using performing arts as a vehicle for integrating shared cultural values, while at the same time recognizing the unique identities of both countries.
