Mission and Programme
The Centre for the Renewal of Culture (COK) was founded by Dr Stephen Nikola Bartulica and his colleagues in 2009, based in Zagreb, Croatia. The Vice President, Dr Robin Harris, took on the role of President in 2024. The assumption behind its activity is that it is a country’s culture, not just the parties and politicians who run public affairs, that ultimately matters. This culture needs to be renewed for and by each generation.
