History

Founded in Austria

Delta Cultura has its origins in Austria, where the association was founded in June 2002 under the name Delta Culture – Association for Intercultural Communication. The founders were Estela Amarilia Cabral Correia (called Marisa – today project manager of the education center) and Florian Wegenstein (now project manager of the education center). Liz Zimmermann, who is still the chairwoman of the Delta Cultura Austria association, was also there from the beginning.
