Who are we?
Wymiennikownia is a part of Social Innovation Laboratory of the City of Gdynia. It is a place for young people, where they have a real impact on its functioning, decitions what workshops they want to take part in or organize by themselves. All the services are free of charge.
In Wymiennikownia there is a lot of creative workshops. Every week we do something different. All activities within the weekly schedule, such as drawing class, breakdance, karate, K-POP groups, yoga, English club etc., are run by young people for young people. This is a place where all the participants have their say and where they can implement their own ideas.
The activity will take place in Gdynia (250 000 inhabitants), which together with Gdansk and Sopot builds agglomeration called Tricity (750 000). Gdynia is a young city with modernistic architecture, built in the early XX century. It attracts many tourists and inhabitants with beautiful beaches in the city centre, music and film festivals and a couple of universities.
Gdynia ESC volunteers live in a few flats in different districts of the city and work in more than 10 different locations (libraries, NGOs, neighbourhood centres etc). Together with their mentors (local volunteers) they create a large, international and lively community of around 35 young people.
Project is funded by European Solidarity Corps programme of the European Union.
