You Plan Culture Foundation

Our aim is to influence through the culture (by organizing festivals, workshops, exhibitions, concerts etc.), encourage people of different cultures, backgrounds and worldviews to open themselves for multicultural dialogue and build multicultural local societies. We work on integration of both - Polish citizens and foreigners living in Poland. Our activities are addressed to all groups (from children to seniors) but primarily to young people and adults. Our biggest projects are "Poszerz ŚwiatoPogląd" (2021, Active Citizens, National Fund) - a series of activities activating Poles and foreigners to joint cultural activities, and "Multicultural Neighbours" - an initiative that includes foreigners in our society and supports intercultural dialogue (2022, Active Citizens Regional Fund). We are currently implementing - October 2022-August 2023 - Let's get to know each other project (Active Citizens Regional Fund) - these are activities involving Ukrainian pupils and students staying in the Pomeranian Voivodeship in building a local environment and strengthening social integration by conducting theater classes of intercultural education, as well as activities promoting culture Ukrainian. The project also activates Polish students and teachers, increasing the level of awareness and empathy regarding the needs and problems of foreigners. We want to get away from the terms “migrant” or "refugee” in favor of getting to know ourselves from our strengths and strengthening our self-esteem. The biggest event organized by us is the Festival ŚwiatoPogląd - Travel Culture Festival (so for 4 editions). Festival combines an overview of travelers' accounts visiting particular places with a completely different perspective - stories of the inhabitants of these regions, currently living in our country. This formula relativizes the information provided by travelers and allows to gain first-hand knowledge.
