Partnerships<br />

with Rural<br />

Community<br />

Centres<br />

Partnerships with Rural<br />

Cultural Centres is run by the<br />

Złocieniec Cultural Centre. The<br />

project involves partnerships<br />

aimed at mobilising rural<br />

communities to undertake<br />

cultural education efforts.<br />

In 2008 we implemented the<br />

project in eight out of nine<br />

rural community centres in<br />

the commune of Złocieniec.<br />

The project was funded<br />

by the Rural Development<br />

Foundation.<br />

w<br />

e were inspired by a desire to<br />

create change, to do something<br />

for ourselves and for others.<br />

As most of the children were spending<br />

their summer vacation at home, we got the<br />

idea to organise their free time together in<br />

a fun, safe and practical way. We wanted to<br />

do something to keep them away from the<br />

computer screen, a habit that has grown to<br />

epidemic proportions. Together, we undertook<br />

a number of projects in the local rural<br />

community centre.<br />

the project<br />

The winning concepts included: Extremely<br />

Unforgettable Bobrowo (Bobrowo Village<br />

Council), Botanical Garden in Cieszyn<br />

(Cieszyno Village Council), Plenty of Fish in<br />

the Pond (Warniłęg Village Council), Painting<br />

Versus Painting (Rural Community Centre in<br />

Rzęśnica) and Flower-bedded Village (Rural<br />

Community Centre in Stary Worów). Stawno<br />

Village Council’s Marriage was another winner.<br />

Each project was worth 2000 PLN.<br />

The central idea of the projects was to<br />

organise activities aimed at bringing an aesthetic<br />

quality to rural areas and improving<br />

their image. Hence the idea to plant daisies<br />

and forget-me-nots in Bobrów. In<br />

Cieszyn a botanical garden was established.<br />

In Warniłęg the pond area was cleaned. In<br />

Rzęśnica a 30-meter-long grey concrete<br />

fence was repainted. Stary Worów gained<br />

several flower beds. There was a lot of work<br />

and plenty of fun activities, of which we have<br />

an extensive photographic record.<br />

target groups / methods<br />

The projects were mostly aimed at children<br />

and youth. We worked according to a previously<br />

arranged schedule of meetings, in<br />

which we included the start and end times of<br />

activities, rest and meal break times, and the<br />

times of joint work sessions. We also scheduled<br />

in trips to attractive local destinations,<br />

to garden and spa parks, as well as meetings<br />

with residents, artists and organisers of cultural<br />

and artistic events in the region.<br />

We regularly updated local and regional<br />

media on the progress of our projects.
