The project’s goal is to test the possibility of creating development strategies for cultural centres through the participatory process. We work in three cultural centres in the Mazowieckie voivodeship: in Góra Kalwaria, Milanówek and Nadarzyn. Our aim is to create conditions in which residents will be able to enter dialogue with local administration about the shape of their cultural centre. During consultations and workshops, representatives of the community develop strategies for the activities of local centres. These strategies form basis for the process of working out programme priorities and particular ideas for actions.
Realization of this project also provides a chance to develop a working method, which we believe can be used by other cultural centres.
