Czech Centres

The Czech Centres are a contributory organisation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic. They are an integral part of Czech foreign policy and a key cultural diplomacy tool. They operate within the public diplomacy domain, whose mission is to promote and support the good reputation of Czechia abroad and to strengthen cultural relations between countries. The Czech Centres are a cultural institute understanding culture in its broadest sense. They also provide Czech language classes abroad and participate in organising certified language exams. The Czech Centres have been an integral part of the EUNIC (The European Union National Institutes for Culture) network almost since its establishment in 2006. At present, there are 26 branches across 4 continents.
