The culture of Pakistan is vibrant and has a long strong history, with Lahore and Karachi as the main cultural capitals of Pakistan offering an incredibly wide and rich range of cultural activities. These centers of culture, constantly breeding new trends and preserving cultural traditions, need a strong and independent tool to organize the communication of cultural activity and events in order to establish an essential information linkage between the culture and daily life of the public.

Danka is dedicated to act as this link, to develop a cultural networking spirit, to facilitate active co-operation between artists, organizers and the public; and to support cultural management efforts to improve quality of the events, their communication and their organization.

Danka is devoted to advance Pakistani culture as a whole.

Firstly, Danka is a online platform which anybody can use to freely receive and share information on ongoing events. Our philosophy is to remain as neutral as possible and not provide any judgement on the nature of the submitted cultural events. Danka's primary task is to register the widest range of cultural activities on its site, and promote them amid the Pakistani population. Furthermore, Danka provides detailed information on cultural centers, historical places and upcoming artists and is constantly updating its directories to maintain a vibrant cultural network throughout the country.

Secondly, Danka is a networking and management effort dedicated to assist the Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad cultural event organizers and artists in terms of publicity and onsite support. Danka also plans to carry out our own cultural projects in the fields of theatre, dance, music, film, poetry, recording, documentation and conservation of art and culture to further support the Pakistan culture.

Danka is an open platform. Its work is based on the active contribution and feedback of the community, which means that you as an Internet user can modify the contents of the site including events information. Danka works very closely with cultural organizers, the public and the artists and considers them all a part of the Danka team.
