The European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center – CCERPA was founded 4 years ago, in order to revitalize the relations between Romania and the Arab World, by launching cultural projects with national, European, Arabian, and international support.
Our members are Romanian NGOs and private citizens, former diplomats, Arabian NGOs, members of the Arabian communities from all the 23rd countries of the Arab League.
The European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center concluded several agreements’ with Romanian Authorities, and also with different national and international Cultural NGO`s.
Our strategy is based on the Principle that our institution is, according to the law, a promoter, an interface between the Romanian culture and the Arabic culture, and not a direct culture producer.
With its specialists, The European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center provide access the all conditions of equality and honesty to all people interested to achieve the settled objective.
Our activity must be seen as a complementary way of reaching Romania’s strategic objective, such as revitalizing the relations of Romania with all the Arab world, and promoting Romanian cultural, economic, social, scientific, and political initiatives abroad.
The European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center aim is to promote and support the Arab culture in our country, and the Romanian culture throughout the Arab world, by initiating informational and educational programs to raise the awareness of our people and communities, about the history, culture of each nation, emphasizing on the common ground, and also on a good knowledge of the moral, social, scientific, touristic, economic and political values specific of each country.
Because this cultural project has been imagined by its founders as a factor of re-launching the Romanian-Arabian relations, we wish to rally all the people involved in the last 40 years in building bridges at all levels: academically, cultural, political, diplomatically, and economical, at the bilateral chambers of commerce level.
Supporting the local authorities to establish close links between local communities, in order to tighten the economic and friendship relations.
Setting up branches in Romanian cities and Arab countries is another goal for us, and the first step was taken: the Jordanian Branch of the European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center has been established. Others will follow.
In order to achieve our goals, we are organizing cultural, scientifically, academically, economical, social round tables, symposiums, congresses, and expositions.
Establishing links with Romanian Universities Alumni Associations, in order to promote our country throughout the Arab world.
Stimulating young people from Arab countries, especially those from mixed families (Arab-Romanian), to study within the Romanian universities, and for this reason, we want to offer scholarships to the most promising students.

The European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center pays great attention to its Intercultural Interreligious and Interethnic Department, which guides itself after Vienna’s King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz International Centre for Interreligious and Intercultural Dialogue (KAICIID).
Our message is clear, credible, open, addressed to any person who agrees with our Statute and who wants to join us, focusing especially on mixed families, and admirers of the Arab culture and Arabic language speakers.
We emphasize that the European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center is an association, that is apolitical and neutral to religion, that believes in equality of principles, mutual respect, wisdom, rationality and that leads to a normal development of society, corresponding to the XXI century and its challenges.
Please note that the European Romanian-Pan-Arabian Cultural Center (CCERPA) gives great importance to the cultural counseling provided by public institutions in Romania, and by the embassies of Arab countries in Bucharest, thus having the necessary support to achieve objectives.
In conclusion, our Center is an oasis of peace and respect among peoples, with the intention to be an exemplary model for any project and inter-ethnic cooperation.
