Center for the Development and Activity of Children and Youth

One of the activities we've been running in the Plac Grunwaldzki housing estate since the beginning of 2021 is the Children and Youth Development and Activity Center – a year-round project funded by the Municipality of Wrocław and the Mayday Foundation. Our goal is to create a safe space for the youngest residents of Grunwald (or those studying in our estate) where they can spend time with their peers, create and be creative, and enjoy a meal prepared in collaboration with our animators. The project is aimed at students in grades 1-8.

At our Center, children spend their time creatively and co-create a space where they can develop their creativity and sensitivity! We offer a range of free creative and movement activities, creative workshops in the ceramics studio, relaxation sessions with a psychologist, culinary workshops, group visits to cultural institutions, as well as team-building activities and themed events. All of this is designed to stimulate curiosity and imagination and support the development of children's creative thinking. We also offer help with learning and homework – after all, everyone needs a little help with tasks and puzzles sometimes.

The Center for the Development and Activity of Children and Youth is operating every day – Monday to Friday – 15:30-19:30. During this time, animators will be on site to conduct activities for your children.
