ESC: Bridges of Culture | 6 months in Cairo, Egypt

NGO Logos started as a small and enthusiastic group in 2015 that was bringing the values of the organisation to Polish youngsters. Logos Polska focuses on intercultural exchange, the power of benefits of cultural diversity and “hygiene of information.” Our members coordinated numerous participants in several multinational projects in Georgia, Armenia, Estonia, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Germany, and other countries. The enthusiastic group of Logos became bigger and was strong enough to take the next step and now, since July 2016, the team has been working as Logos International with a headquarter in Poland, Poznan. The main aspiration of the organisation is to develop Polish young people by providing them with various opportunities. The five main areas of work of the organisation involve human rights education and promotion; critical thinking formation; minorities and migrants’ inclusion; soft skills development; outdoor activities; coaching and facilitating through the implementation of local and international projects, exchanges, training courses, conferences, workshops, events, festivals, seminars, and coaching.
