About the International Cultural Centre
Action 18 of the Council of Minist​er's 100 Day Plan was to "put in place a plan to open a Cultural Centre, celebrating our cultural identities and bringing Islanders together."
The International Cultural Centre Jersey (ICCJ) celebrates the richness of Jersey’s cultural diversity. It also helps meet the challenges involved in building a strong community, where everyone feels they belong and can contribute.
The ICCJ focuses on 3 areas which aim to:
- support a range of local and international cultural celebrations
- offer information and support for Islanders who have cultural backgrounds outside of Jersey
- speak to communities to learn more about the barriers to integration and how we can overcome them
The ICCJ headquarters and staff are based at Jersey Library and its work is overseen by the International Cultural Centre Steering Group.
