Dobrodošli!

Casa Serbia je multikulturna, edukativna i društveno angažovana organizacija sa sedištem na Kanarskim ostrvima, koja okuplja srpsku zajednicu, lokalno stanovništvo i međunarodne partnere u zajedničkoj misiji očuvanja kulturnog identiteta, podsticanja međukulturnog dijaloga i promocije evropskih vrednosti. Nastala iz potrebe da srpska dijaspora u Španiji dobije prostor za izražavanje, razmenu, obrazovanje i uključivanje, Casa Serbia je danas interkulturalni hub koji povezuje tradiciju sa savremenim izazovima i mogućnostima.

¡Bienvenido!

Casa Serbia es una organización multicultural, educativa y socialmente comprometida, con sede en las Islas Canarias, que reúne a la comunidad serbia, a la población local y a socios internacionales en una misión común: preservar la identidad cultural, fomentar el diálogo intercultural y promover los valores europeos. Surgida de la necesidad de que la diáspora serbia en España tuviera un espacio para expresarse, intercambiar, educarse e integrarse, Casa Serbia es hoy un centro intercultural que conecta la tradición con los desafíos y oportunidades contemporáneos.

Welcome!

Casa Serbia is a multicultural, educational, and socially engaged organization based in the Canary Islands. It brings together the Serbian community, local residents, and international partners in a shared mission of preserving cultural identity, promoting intercultural dialogue, and advancing European values. Arising from the need for the Serbian diaspora in Spain to have a space for expression, exchange, education, and inclusion, Casa Serbia is today an intercultural hub that connects tradition with contemporary challenges and opportunities.

Free classes

Learn Serbian

Discover the beauty of the Serbian language! 🇷🇸

At Casa Serbia we have great news: very soon we will start teaching Serbian language classes, both in person (in Gran Canaria) and online.

It is not just about learning a new language, but about opening a door to the rich history and culture of Serbia and the Balkans. In our courses you can immerse yourself in our traditions and discover the magic of reading and writing in our unique alphabet: “Ћирилица” (Cyrillic).

We are creating a waiting list for the first groups. If you want to learn with us, fill in the form below and we will let you know as soon as enrolment opens.

We look forward to seeing you!

    • Five clean vowelsa, e, i, o, u, as in Spanish or Italian, and a rolled “r”.
    • Two alphabetsCyrillic and Latin: Cyrillic takes a few days to learn.
    • TogetherThe hard part (seven cases) is easier in a group.

    About us

    Through a wide range of activities, from language courses, cultural workshops and arts festivals to taking part in European projects such as Erasmus+, SALTO, Eurodesk and youth exchanges, the organisation works on the integration, education and empowerment of individuals and groups at risk of social exclusion. It focuses on young people, but its programmes also include families, women, children, migrants, people with disabilities and other marginalised communities.

    Casa Serbia offers a unique combination of cultural, educational, ecological, social and digital initiatives, including:

    • Sustainable mobility and ecological awareness through workshops, camps and the digitalisation of content.
    • Education in values: tolerance, solidarity, respect for diversity.
    • Promotion of Serbian art: music, folklore, circus, theatre and literature.
    • Connection through international collaborations, exchanges and bilateral projects.
    • Cooperation with institutions: embassies, universities and cultural centres in Spain and Serbia.
    • Youth policy development and mentoring within Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs.

    As a non-profit organisation, Casa Serbia is funded through membership fees, donations, projects and grants, and its work is based on volunteering, collaboration and mutual trust. It has clearly defined mechanisms to ensure quality, transparency and sustainable impact, through regular evaluations, reports and the involvement of the community in decision-making.

    Its members, whether cultural ambassadors, youth advisers, international partners or entrepreneurs, share a common passion for improving society through art, education, dialogue and collective creation. Through its activities, Casa Serbia not only preserves Serbian tradition and language, but turns them into a tool for connecting people, developing skills and building an inclusive, supportive and creative Europe.

    Casa Serbia is a place where culture is not just a memory, but a living energy that drives the community.
