Welcome !
World Culture Group is a private non-profit organization and social enterprise, focusing on sharing and supporting arts & culture from around the world. Beside personal discoveries and stories about artists, events, institutions, places or traditions – published in The World Culture Journal – we also encourage global cooperation in between actors in the cultural field & creative industries.
While World Culture Group is mostly the work of its founder Wigbert Boell, this enterprise functions also as a flexible & open co-working & cooperating entity for “Culture-Connoisseurs” from around the world.
Our work is grounded in a specific set of ideals & objectives, which include for example “common respect”, kindness, cooperation, community, multilateralism, etc. – Read our Manifesto to better understand our philosophy.

World Culture Group has a very strict privacy policy. We will never send any spam to our fellow cultural creatives.
World Culture Group is “gemeinnützig”.
We are in the process of being registered as a “gemeinnützige UGmbH” in Germany, which is similar to an incorporated (inc.) or limited (ltd.) non-profit business. The conditions and restrictions under German law are quite tough and frequently controlled by the tax authorities.
The German word “gemeinnützig” translates as “nützlich für die Gemeinschaft” = “useful for the community” – which specifically implies “beneficial for society“. So, the organizational form of WCG is a priori already a “good business” & social enterprise.
Legally, the “Gemeinnützigkeit” – status is a tax-exempt status and enables us to receive donations – quite similar to (for example) the 501(c) status in the USA.
In order to support our set-up and the turbulent “phase 1”, you can already GIVE here…
We do not use AI
Our work and writings are 100% human-made. We are not using any AI in any of the creative processes or areas. For some mundane tasks in research or organisational areas, we do however occasionally utilize tools & software like LLM & automatization to streamline workflows and support our creative output.
