China-The Netherlands

For some years now, the Netherlands has invested in strengthening cultural relations with China. SICA aligns ambitions and possibilities of programmes that combine several cultural disciplines.

In 2012, SICA will develop the following activities:

• SICA will intensify the cooperation with OCT (Chinese real estate developments) on projects and activities in the field of Dutch-Chinese cultural exchange.
• SICA is developing the digital platform Cultural Exchange China – the Netherlands, which went online in the spring of 2011.
