The CCFU Reading Room, is a space within the Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda that provides knowledge material on the subjects of Pluralism and Managing Diversity, Culture in Development and Cultural Heritage, in a quiet and comfortable environment.

Established with the aim of triggering debate and reflection on issues concerning tolerance across our differences in Uganda, and sharing knowledge and experiences that reflect the benefits of a cultural approach in development planning and practice, the Reading Room is open to visitors every week, from Tuesday to Friday, 9:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m, and may be accessed in the afternoon by prior arrangement. We are closed weekends and public holidays.

Visitors to the reading room can access books by international authors that explore the place of cultural identities in national and international development issues such as governance, human rights, poverty, gender, health and heritage conservation, among others. Also available are publications by CCFU based on "culture in development" experiences in Uganda, and the contribution of civil society in Uganda and beyond to the debate on and policy advocacy for the place of culture in development. A list of titles for some of the publications in our reading is available here.
