About Us

The Georgian Cultural and Spiritual Center was opened with the blessings of Patriarch of Georgia Ilia II and by the support of the Bishop Dositeos and the Georgian Embassy in the Kingdom of Netherlands.

The Georgian Cultural Center in the Netherlands is a Not For Profit organization. All employees of the organization are volunteers and therefore do not receive compensation from the Georgian Cultural Center or any other source.

Georgian Cultural Center in the Netherlands was established in 2014. The center was founded by Tika Svanidze-Vancko and sponsored by her company Tika Tours.

The Georgian Cultural Center in the Netherlands is responsible for hosting countless events, lessons, fundraisers, and projects in a number of countries around the world. It has gained praise both in-and-outside of Georgia by the Georgian people, foreigners, iconic figures, government officials, and more. This center in Amsterdam has grown significantly over the years. You can learn more about The Georgian Cultural Center in the Netherlands land by visiting their Facebook page.

In early 2017, our organization started international projects. Our first project, “United Georgia” was a major success, when Georgian Cultural Center’s dance ensemble, Pesvebi (New York) and “Medea” (Belgium), was hosted by us in Amsterdam. At this concert, cultural centers from three different countries were able to meet, including Georgian Cultural Center (New York), Georgian Cultural Center in the Netherlands, and Cultural Center Caucasus from Belgium. Diaspora from these three countries had a warm gathering and were united.
