| Summary: | Intercultural cooperation takes place within a country and among countries. The level of cooperation is macro, meso and micro, depending on the nature and strength of the organisation. Intercultural cooperation is carried out by various cultural and educational institutions. Cultural centre is one of very few cultural organisations, having few analogues in other countries, cherishing, preserving and supporting ethnical culture and creating state image through intercultural cooperation. Thus, a scientific issue examined in the article is intercultural cooperation and communication in the activities of various cultural centres, analysing the macro, meso and micro levels. The quantitative research, conducted in eight cultural centres operating in the border areas of Lithuania, Belarus and the Kaliningrad Region (Russia), i.e. Kybartai, Pagėgiai, Švencionys, Lazdijai, Pelesa, Rimdžiūnai, Sovetskas and Gusev, helped to identify the intercultural levels of these cultural centres and their communities. Estimating different circumstances of the activity of Lithuanian cultural centres and cultural organisations operating in the Kaliningrad and Belarus border areas (Lithuanian cultural centres/ Lithuanian communities), a comparative analysis revealed the key features of cooperation between the community and the cultural centres/Lithuanian organisations. The study also analysed the patterns of intercultural cooperation. |
