The Foyer Culturel de Goma (meaning "Goma Cultural Center"), colloquially referred to by its acronym FCG, is a cultural center and art school located in Goma, North Kivu, in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It serves as a regional key institution for promoting arts as a driving force for peace, reconciliation, and social change in the African Great Lakes region.
The center provides artistic education to nearly 600 young people and adults annually, offering courses in various disciplines such as vocal performance, piano, guitar, percussion, spoken word, dance, and cinema. FCG also plays an integral role in the community's cultural development by partnering with local families and schools. As the birthplace of the Amani Festival, the most significant cultural event in the region, the Foyer Culturel de Goma has established itself as a cultural reference in the city.
