The aim of the Open City University is to promote good practices, effective solutions, to integrate different
communities, as well as motivate them to succeed. In the future, also the residents of Lublin
and the region willing to share their experience and achievements, will have a chance to deliver lectures
at the City University.
Similar meetings concerning city-resident relations, an informal “open university,” have been taking
place for a long time. However, it is worth to identify them as a separate, independent program for the
citizens, to support it financially and invite everyone who is interested in taking part. The Open City
University will go on as a City of Lublin programme, regardless of the results of ECC bid, as a project
supporting cultural development strategy and the city’s development.
