Palace and Cultural Network- PACUNET brings together graduates from wider disciplines and cultural backgrounds with diverse experiences in life.
The sense of belonging and values of one’s culture influence our common philosophy. By putting our talents together, we keep our selves busy with different activities including scriptwriting, theatre performances, fashion shows, traditional dances, musical performances, storytelling, poetry dramatization, sports and exhibitions, workshops, seminars, symposiums and advocacy. We network with other actors with similar thoughts by exchanging knowledge within and without the diverse realm of arts and culture but also with a related area of work. PACUNET is represented with members from different nationalities and ethnicities. We are also occupied with intellectual discussion especially reflecting on developmental issues regarding our various origins. Through dialogue with other players, we share information, ideas and expertise considered as conventional wisdom for collective courtesy hence empowering each other with precious values. We strongly believe in self-determination not only for entertainment but with the hope of self-employment through our personal creativities. We welcome ideas and our doors are open to all with a positive mindset.
