The ICC Foundation realises its goals through the organisation of international educational programmes, publishing, and the planning of exhibitions and artistic events. In the over 30 years of its existence, the foundation has been involved in endeavours such as the European Month of Culture (1992), seminars as part of the educational programme ‘Borderland Heritage’ (in conjunction with The Tokyo University of Foreign Studies), and the coordination of the Polish network of the Anna Lindh Foundation. The foundation solely realises events that are connected with the statutory activities of the ICC.
