About us - Fundacja Dom Kultury

Culture, art and education are the three pillars of Fundacja Dom Kultury.

Since 2007, Fundacja Dom Kultury has been conducting socially engaging activities, using art, culture and education as tools for bringing people back to society. It involves artists, cultural creators, social activists, and educators in activities for people who are socially excluded for various reasons.

Fundacja Dom Kultury runs artistic and cultural education workshops for young people from educational institutions, prisoners, ethnic and cultural minorities, children with problematic backgrounds, seniors, and anyone who needs them. It helps people to be active on a cultural, artistic, social and professional level. It brings art and culture to places where it does not exist.

Fundacja Dom Kultury provides equal opportunities in universal access to art, culture, and education.

The most important activities of Fundacja Dom Kultury are "eWKratke" and the "Culture Under Lock and Key" programme.

eWKratke is a blog run by Fundacja Dom Kultury since 2014. It is created by women serving prison sentences at the Detention Centre in Warsaw Grochów. The blog runs despite the prisoners having no access to the internet. It exists thanks to the hard work of our foundation’s dedicated volunteers. The Foundation runs cultural education classes for the bloggers twice a week, so that the blog can operate.

"Culture Under Lock and Key" is a programme that has been running continuously since 2011, in the form of various sub-projects in women's prison at the Warsaw Grochów Detention Centre and short-term projects in other prisons in Poland. Together with artists, art curators and academic teachers, our Foundation has conducted over 300 artistic and cultural workshops in nine prisons.

In the past 10 years of our activity, we have gained the conviction that culture and art have a causative power. They have a positive impact on every person, regardless of their origin, status, age and life situation.
