Serbian Club KRUG is a cultural community center in Brussels, Belgium. The club's mission is to connect members of the diaspora, engage their collective creative potential, and build cultural bridges with Belgium, as well as other European and world cultures, in Brussels. The center creates and organizes activities in four main areas: culture, art, education, and business networking.
Since 2022, KRUG asbl is a registered non-profit Belgian organization. The club designs and organizes numerous cultural activities. Each year, the club hosts social events, children's art, music, and sports and recreation workshops, film and theater performances, as well as Serbian language courses for foreigners. We participate in the largest cultural exchange festival held every year in Brussels in April - the Balkan Traffic Festival, which brings together over 100 artists and an average of 5,000 visitors. The core values that guide the club are openness, inclusiveness, and interconnectedness.
We developed quality relationships with local cultural centers, private and public sectors, and the international community in Brussels. We have organized over 50 different creative, educational, and cultural programs in cooperation with local communities. During 2025, we are implementing the Culture Connects project, which focuses on cultural exchange and raising awareness about the importance of diverse and inclusive societies in Europe. A series of workshops and events are organized throughout the year with the idea that the project becomes a platform for cultural exchange involving different language groups in Brussels. The long-term goal is to establish a multilingual cultural network of youth/schools/groups participating in the project.
If you are interested in volunteering or helping out in some of the initiatives, get in contact with us by sending an email to info@klub-krug.be
