How can immigrant artistic communities be integrated into the structure of Warsaw's cultural institutions? Can art be used as a tool for integration? This is a summary of a series of presentations held as part of the Future of Culture Forum 2022. The event was organised by the Powszechny Theatre in cooperation with the Warsaw Observatory of Culture.

The document contains recommendations, guidelines, and inspirations on the subject matter of projects, ways, and methods of working with recipients, as well as support tools for individuals conducting activities in the field of cultural education. The Cultural Education in Warsaw document intends to aid in planning individual educational activities an comprehensive strategies of institutions in which cultural education plays an essential role.

Warsaw became one of over 70 cities globally that offer refuge to artists and activists. The Warsaw Observatory of Culture (WOK) was appointed the coordinating institution of residencies executed as part of the ICORN (International Cities of Refuge Network).

The study of cultural education in Warsaw is a study of the city itself: its radically changing community; its shifts and uncertainties in the face of global challenges; as well as its local conditions and their impact on the lives of Warsaw’s residents. WOK presents the report Cultural Education in Research and Action, which concludes the second phase of our study on cultural education practices in Warsaw.

Let's get to know each other! The Warsaw Observatory of Culture (WOK) is a new cultural institution of the Capital City of Warsaw. It presents a completely innovative format and has been operational since September 1, 2022.
