Presenting the solutions developed by experts for the cultural sector during a time of transition. On 26 September, a debate on the organisation of the financing and functioning of culture in Poland took place at the Nowy Teatr in Warsaw. The debate focused on four main issues: the law on the status of professional artists, cultural institutions, the decentralisation of culture, and social and civic culture.

The project offers perspectives on the development of Warsaw's cultural offering until the year 2040. The results showed the directions that cultural institutions should take in view of becoming more attractive in the eyes of young people in the future. The results and the formulated recommendations can be adopted by all institutions in the development of their cultural offer.

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.

At the Warsaw Observatory of Culture, we know education and culture have a prominent role. In the ever-changing reality, given the new challenges and global and local crises that keep cropping up, we need tools to develop soft social skills and artistic tools, much needed to establish and maintain relationships. This is the rationale for our involvement in studying cultural education in Warsaw, and we made it one of our core programming priorities.

We have prepared an Ethics Map to help everyone, working at and collaborating with WOK, understand the essence of the desired behaviours and conduct. This is the kind of institution we want to create, and this is how we want to live and work together.
