About Us

The Bournemouth Education and Cultural Association is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) dedicated to advancing the education of children and young people in Bournemouth.

Our mission is to provide a supportive environment where children aged 7–16 can develop their Turkish and English language skills, learn about cultural traditions, and build confidence in a bilingual setting.

We believe that cultural education strengthens community bonds and helps young people navigate a multicultural world with pride and understanding.

Our community centre hall and rooms also serve as a valuable educational and recreational resource for the wider local community, hosting workshops, cultural events, and community meetings.
