Stowarzyszenie Sztukater

Sztukater's main goals are promotion of arts and culture, organizing educational and cultural events, propagation of cultural, ethnic and sexual diversity, building ecological awareness, advocating human rights, and prevention of social exclusion. Our association includes methodologists, school teachers, and people responsible for externally funded projects (e.g. the European Social Fund, Deutsch-Polnisches Jugendwerk, Youth in Action, Erasmus+). It is their experience that helps us realize our statute. Through art and culture, Sztukater association bridges new technologies with those who need them, and improves the quality of life of people vulnerable to being excluded by society. Through us, local communities learn about the possibilities of involving themselves in art and culture, as well as the resources such commitment requires. We take on and give publicity to issues that other, official bodies have kept in the background. We want to make it common knowledge that it's everyone's right to access art and culture, and that they are not restricted to only selected elites. Sztukater organizes various social campaigns and projects. Moreover, we aid educational istitutions, promote book authors, organize youth competitions, and cultural contests. The association cooperates with local cultural and educational institutions. We run a website based around art and culture to help battle loneliness in the web. The Association actively participates in international projects, since year 2014 Sztukater Association has been a partner in around 30 realized projects. We develop the young person the passion to help others and discover the beauty of Europe. We have a very strong concern about the preparation of young people (participants) for exchanges. Thanks to our mentors participants get the taste of non-formal education before exchange, they gain motivation for intercultural learning, getting technical knowledge of the topic of exchange and knowledge how to maintain safety during the travel.
