This article explores the reasons behind the establishment of national cultural centers in Ushba, the creation of settlement and production complexes, as well as the mechanisms for preserving cultural diversity and accelerating social integration within ethnic communities. The material is based on an analysis of current academic literature, reports by non-governmental organizations, thematic research, and the practical experience of multinational organizations operating in this field.

The study aims to identify the prerequisites for the creation of these institutions, examine their organizational structures, and analyze their social roles. Through thematic and comparative analysis, the article identifies key factors contributing to the successful functioning of ethnic cultural centers. These include the production of goods that reflect the cultural heritage of various ethnic groups, the compact settlement of diaspora communities, and the incorporation of diverse cultural initiatives into the activities of these institutions.

Special attention is given to issues of national identity, the emergence of related problems, material representation, and mechanisms for strengthening interethnic solidarity. The article also analyzes potential challenges that cultural centers may face in the course of their work.

Additionally, the functional mechanisms of such institutions are examined, particularly their roles in expanding employment opportunities, fostering intercultural solidarity, reducing ethnic conflicts, and strengthening intercultural cooperation.
