Cultural networking

From local partnerships to nationwide and international cooperatives. Together, we can strengthen the possibilities of the cultural environment!

We will also be involved in the networking of the cultural sector. We have experience in cultural cooperation with and with your help we want to expand it further!

In Wrocław, we want to develop cultural cooperation between local institutions, expanding it to include other organizations involved in culture. One element of this local network is to become Cooperative of Culture – a process that will help us find solutions to share resources (both material and non-material) and help each other in everyday matters. Locally, we will also continue to coordinate the activities of the neighbourhood community of cultural creators from the neon-lit Ruska 46 courtyard.

Our networks also reach beyond the borders of our city

We are co-creating an informal network called Coalition of Cities, which is a platform for exchanging views and experiences in the development of culture in local governments. An important role in our plans is also played by new projects organised with partners from Ukraine, Belarus and Germany, such as BERLIN_forum kultury_WROCŁAW – meetings of artists and cultural organisers from the eponymous cities. We also want to continue cooperation with Wrocław’s sister cities and, as part of the ECoC Family (European Capitals of Culture Family), an informal network of former, current and future European Capitals of Culture, provide organisational support, share experience, build contacts and enter into international partnerships.
