Europe House Sarajevo is a multipurpose cultural and information center located in Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was established by the Delegation of the European Union to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2023 as a space dedicated to promoting European values, providing information on the European Union's work in the region, and fostering public dialogue, particularly among youth. [1]
Europe House was officially opened in 2023 as the successor to the EU Info Centre. The center was envisioned as a new, modern platform for connecting the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina—especially the younger population—with the European Union. It also aims to support the country's path toward EU membership. [1]
Europe House features a modern multimedia space that includes:
Europe House organizes and hosts numerous public events aimed at fostering civic engagement, critical thinking, and European integration.
As of early 2024, the center had hosted more than 220 events and welcomed over 23,000 visitors. [4]
Some notable programmes include:
Europe House Sarajevo regularly hosts a diverse range of art and culture programmes designed to engage the public in dialogue on European values and contemporary issues through artistic expression. The center has collaborated with local and regional artists, institutions, and cultural organizations to organize exhibitions, performances, film screenings, and literary events. [7]
One of the central pillars of Europe House's programming is the integration of cultural diplomacy into public life. Visual art exhibitions often reflect on topics such as identity, European heritage, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. Many of these events are curated in partnership with European embassies, cultural institutes, and local civil society organizations. [8]
In addition, literature and music are promoted through regular poetry readings, author talks, and concerts featuring both local and European performers. [9] These initiatives aim to create space for intercultural exchange and community building among Sarajevo's diverse populations. [10]
