House of the three worlds


House of the three worlds in Granada, Nicaragua.

Casa de los Tres Mundos is a cultural development project that Ernesto Cardenal and Dietmar Schönherr founded in 1989. The "Casa de los Tres Mundos" Foundation promotes cultural projects with social accents in Nicaragua and Central America.

In addition to the promotion of artistic and musical development of children and young people, a project of village development in Malacatoya / Granada / Nicaragua has been underway since Hurricane Mitch devastated the region since 1999.

The aim of the founders was not only to support economic development, but also to improve the situation of people with cultural initiatives. It is an important desire to promote cultural exchange.

That is why the House of the Three Worlds is an international and cultural center where the influences of different cultures are found to expand and to be promoted. In this way you can encourage the creative forces of Nicaragua and rediscover the cultural heritage.

In the "House of the Three Worlds" concerts, exhibitions and readings are held, lectures are given and theater plays and dances are organized. There are also language courses, international symposia, festivals and a school where Nicaraguan teachers give music and painting classes to children from all walks of life. Young Austrians can do their Austrian service abroad at the House of the Three Worlds.

Behind the "House of the Three Worlds" is the "Bread and Art" union of Münster, a non-profit association.
