Since 1991, we train professionals in the cultural sector to help them imagine and carry out successful international cooperation projects.
The Marcel Hicter Foundation is a reference when it comes to learning international cooperation for the cultural sector.
Our training programs transform the careers of individuals who want to develop their skills, broaden their horizons, and take their projects to the European or international level.
Each person shapes
their own learning journey.
Here’s what some of our alumni say about our programs.

“European diploma has immediate effect on me, when I enrolled it 2005. It was a direct insight into the vast knowledge of the most prominent European cultural educators. It was a direct contact with over 15 peers with whom I entered into dialogue and networking. It gave me insight of the cultural scenes in the country we visited. It stabilized me, it advanced my skills and it helped my orientation and confidence to carry international cultural cooperation projects. It was a turning point for my career in culture.”
— Robert Alagjozovski, freelance cultural operator, founder of Goten publishing, director of NGO Esperanza World culture center, member of pedagogic team of the European Diploma, ex-minister of culture of North Macedonia
