We invite non-governmental organisations to submit proposals in open calls for proposals for public tasks in the field of intercultural dialogue in 2024. The tasks are intended to help realise the vision of Wrocław as a city of intercultural dialogue, i.e. a community of residents who live in mutual respect regardless of origin, cultural identity, language or religion.
Below you will find a list of open calls for proposals with links to the documentation in the Public Information Bulletin (BIP)*.
Intercultural Meeting Places in Local Communities – Wrocław 2024 (28.02.2024/3647)
The aim of the public task is to create spaces for meetings, dialogue, cooperation and activities aimed at strengthening integration processes in intercultural local communities, for new residents of Wrocław and the host community.
The task involves carrying out at least three activities, such as:
- integration activities in Wrocław neighbourhoods, supporting new residents with migration and refugee experience and including them in the life of the local community, among others: local community integration meetings, support and self-help groups, discovery walks around the neighbourhood and across the city, integration events in local communities, including outdoor events, extracurricular integration activities for children and young people supporting the development of their passions and
interests, homework help, strengthening and building peer groups, with a particular focus on teenagers; - activities that develop and support intercultural competences, e.g. training sessions, workshops, educational and information meetings, language clubs;
- local information and advisory activities, e.g. adaptation classes and information support, particularly for children and young people.
Depending on the participants’ needs, activities should be conducted in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian or English. Integration activities should be understood as a two-way process whose beneficiaries are both the host community and the city’s new residents – migrants and
refugees.
