From June 2026, Kultur Ensemble Glasgow is creating a new framework for French-German-Scottish cooperation in Glasgow and Scotland. A cooperation between Alliance Française Glasgow and Goethe-Institut Glasgow, with support of Institut français d’Écosse, Kultur Ensemble Glasgow creates both a space for exchange and collaboration at the joint venue at Park Circus, and an opportunity for cultural cooperation across Scotland, strengthening European connections worldwide.
