Connections Worldwide - (The IALC)

The International Association of Lyceum Clubs brings together the National Federations/Associations of Lyceum Clubs. It is an apolitical and areligious women’s association. The headquarters are in Zurich (Switzerland).

Our Logo was designed by Ellinor Ivalo, a member of the Club of Helsinki. Each dot represents a club member of the IALC.

The National Federations/Associations bring together Lyceum Clubs in the same country. To date, we have 17 National Federations/Associations and 68 Lyceum Clubs throughout the southern and northern hemispheres!

Local Lyceum Club members can take part in and/or organise activities such as conferences, concerts, visits to cultural institutions, take part in circles (special interest groups), take part in cultural exchanges between members and clubs on a national or international level, broaden their network and form deep bonds of friendship.

Every three years there is an International Congress. The IALC organises annual International Cultural Days and a triennial International Congress which brings together Lyceum Clubs from all countries.

In intervening years Cultural Days are held. Previous locations of Cultural Days: (Rabat) Morocco, Athens (Greece), Stockholm, Oulu (Finland).

Upcoming Cultural days: 2024 Bordeaux (France).

Next International Congress: 2025 New Zealand.
