Multicultural Center in Krakow
The Multicultural Center is an initiative operating as part of the Open Krakow project since 2021. Its main operator is the Internationaler Bund Polska Foundation. The Center works to build a space of dialogue for the multicultural community of Krakow. It provides information, activation, assistance, and educational activities. Its mission is to support the integration of foreigners in the city at every stage of this process and to bring the idea of multiculturalism closer to Krakow's inhabitants.
The Center organizes events addressed to all city residents, e.g. walks around Krakow in many languages, language conversations, multicultural breakfasts, workshops, conferences, and meetings. The Center operates in the spirit of dialogue, tolerance, openness, and social inclusion as well as promotes these values in public life.
