About

Stichting Somali-Netherlands Cultural Association is a arts culture organization based in 'S-GRAVENHAGE, Netherlands. Registration: 819554315.

Mission

SONECA believes that the African and refugee community itself plays a central role in its emancipation and social participation. At the same time, cooperation with Dutch institutions, governments and social partners is essential to create sustainable connections, increase opportunities and promote inclusion.

SONECA gelooft dat de Afrikaanse en vluchtelingengemeenschap zelf een centrale rol speelt in haar emancipatie en maatschappelijke participatie. Tegelijkertijd is samenwerking met Nederlandse instellingen, overheden en maatschappelijke partners essentieel om duurzame verbindingen te creëren, kansen te vergroten en inclusie te bevorderen.
