ESC: Tratwa Lead The Way

TRATWA is a Polish NGO established in 1997 in the city of Wroclaw. The organization’s main objectives are: support and professionalization of the third sector, providing quality support to young people in risk of exclusion through non-formal education methods and promote volunteering, intercultural and intergenerational awareness and respect.
CENTRE OF INTERCULTURAL PROJECT DEPOT
One of the biggest achievement of our organisation is the "Centre of Intercultural Project DEPOT", which is a cultural center and meeting places for young people - Youth Initiatives Centre "My Place" and the local community in Wroclaw, with huge potential to organise youth exchanges, social events, concerts, theater performances, exhibitions, film screenings, workshops and others. "My Place" is addressed to teenagers and young people, who are in a risk of social exclusion and is based on a non-formal education approach. This place works also as an Informal Community Centre and it aims to boost the social and cultural life of the neighborhood where Dąbie Cultural Center is located. It works as social space, with information and activities for the local community - seniors from neighborhood.
EUROPEAN CAPITAL OF CULTURE
Since 2015 we collaborated with European Capital of Culture by supporting different cultural - artistic events, social actions and event for the local community. Together with EVS volunteers we were supporting and organising different activities for European Capital of Culture happening in Wrocław in 2016.
