  Visual Arts
 
Bactria Cultural Centre, as a contemporary artistic space, serves as a catalyst by providing opportunities to local artists to express their creativity in an entirely free and experimental way. At present it is the only venue in Dushanbe that encourages artists to apply innovative approaches to manifest their artistic visions.  
 
  Art Education
 
Bactria Cultural Centre, as the cultural actor of ACTED’s activities, is fully devoted to provide access to information and to vocational training. Educational activities aimed at artists and art professionals are organized with the firm belief that an understanding of national identity as well as social changes and development can originate from active participants of society. The role of an artist is, and always has been, the observer, the analyzer, and the initiator.  
 
  Library
 
One of the main information points in Bactria is its library, which has a collection of books in Tajik, Russian, English, German and French, focusing on mostly culture and history. Art books on the works of Michelangelo, Levitan, Vrubel, Aivazovsky, Theophanes the Greek, movies of Russian and Western avant-garde, and Italian Renaissance are the most valued pieces of the collection.

BACTRIA: mission and educational services

As a result of the continuous degradation of Tajik educational structure, from a unified primary and secondary education under the Soviets, today barely 60 percent of Tajikistan's current school-age population is receiving educational opportunities. Through opportunities for learning and vocational training BACTRIA aims at democratizing access to information and education.

More than 400 students per year attend BACTRIA's language classes (English, French, and German) which are taught by an educational team of 14 teachers supervised by an expatriate director of educational programmes. BACTRIA also fulfils a crucial role by disseminating information about scholarships and study programmes abroad. Thereby, BACTRIA has established itself as a key and complementary structure to the pre-existing Tajik educational institutions.

BACTRIA also combines a series of free services for anyone wishing to develop their skills and gain knowledge about other cultures:
- a library containing a wide collection of films and books in English, French, German, Russian and Tajik,
- weekly film screenings in original language with Russian sub-titles,
- weekly thematic discussion Clubs (French, English, German) led by native speakers.
These services are very popular and attract a large number of visitors.
