Mlodziezowy Dom Kultury nr 2

Youth Culture House No. 2 in Piekary Śląskie is a place with almost 80 years of tradition, where children and teenagers as well as seniors spend their free time and develop their passions and talents. We provide non-formal education through artistic activities (painting, dance, music, handicraft, modeling), English language learning, theatre and sports activities and KOMKE Youth Club for international projects and youth exchanges. During the holiday period we organize holidays for children and teenagers - holiday workshops, half-camps and trips. We have a garden with a grass pitch and a petanqe pitch. The garden was created as part of the Civic Budget written by young people. It is a place to spend time and meet with the residents. We are currently planning to prepare a summer cinema project in the garden. Scout meetings are also held in our facility. Our buildings are the oldest in the city, but we have a very well prepared place to conduct classes, as well as artistic, musical and sports equipment and committed employees - teachers and trainees (11 persons). Our facility is vibrant with life and hosts about 600 participants of various activities per week. Classes conducted at MDK 2 are free of charge for participants, we are the budget unit of the City of Piekary Śląskie.

Also the possibility of proposing one's own ideas for activities and introducing them to the schedule (always accompanied by a teacher/ instructor).
