OUR MOTIVATIONS
Why do we need a European cultural center?
We believe that there is a common identity among Europeans - something that
connects us beyond our national differences. The need for a space where people can live and explore this European culture is therefore a logic consequence. We seek to promote a wide-ranging debate about what constitutes a European identity. That way, we want to make European citizens more enthusiastic for a united Europe.
OUR MISSION
Link EUS aims to strengthen the cultural bond between Europe and the US by creating a place where both Europeans and Americans can learn, discuss and celebrate together.
From language courses, through lectures to arts classes, Link EUS offers a wide range of educational opportunities.

OUR TEAM
We are a young and lively team of 4 people with European backgrounds.
Having lived or living abroad has triggered a great fascination for different cultures in us. We have been inspired by all those eye-opening experiences and are dedicated to create and pass on similar moments to others.

Collaborations with German School Brooklyn (GSB) and German School Manhattan (GSM) in NYC
We are excited to have found two wonderful and inspiring partner institutions with GSB and GSM. We are using their premises for all our classes and events and are beyond grateful to be able to create a home for Europeans in NYC in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. GSB is located close to the Brooklyn Museum and GSM is located in Tribeca.
