About the Institute of Cultural Affairs: The Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA), has, since the 1960s, been fostering cultures based on inclusive participation and profound respect. Patterns of engagement based on these values help people to work creatively, minimise conflict, and accomplish more together than individuals working alone.

The ICA has developed models for providing training and consultancy in methods and perspectives of participatory change. These processes have been implemented successfully world-wide as Technology of Participation (ToP TM) programs. ToP programs enable people to think through their total situation and deal with complexity and ambiguity. Highly participatory in nature, and utilising the participants' own cultural understandings, ToP TM methodologies focus on ensuring productivity and innovation through participation, while ensuring a consistent and comprehensive direction.

The ICA's global network spans more than thirty-five countries. Its inclusive approach to participative development has gained worldwide recognition and respect in its three major arenas of activities: sustainable development, life-long education and organisational transformation. ICA holds consultancy status with United Nations agencies.
