Welcome to the Open Space Foundation Mysłowice (FUNDACJA OTWARTA PRZESTRZEŃ MYSŁOWICE). We are more than just an organization; we are a living, breathing community space dedicated to collective growth, dialogue, and creative action.

Our Core Idea

In a world that often feels fragmented, we believe in the power of open space—both physical and metaphorical. Our foundation was born from a simple yet profound need: to create a welcoming, inclusive point on the map of Mysłowice where curious minds can meet, ideas can cross-pollinate, and meaningful change can begin. We are a platform for those who ask questions, seek knowledge, and want to build connections that transcend traditional boundaries.

Our Mission & Vision

Mission: To activate and empower the local community by providing a dynamic platform for education, culture, and social dialogue. We foster personal and collective development through interdisciplinary workshops, cultural events, and collaborative projects that address the pressing and inspiring topics of our time.

Vision: We envision Mysłowice as a city of engaged, conscious, and interconnected citizens. We strive to be a catalytic hub where diverse voices are heard, creativity flourishes, and ecological and social awareness becomes the foundation for a sustainable and equitable future.

What Drives Us: Our Thematic Pillars

Our activities revolve around interconnected pillars that reflect the complexity of our world and our holistic approach to community work:

• Social & Educational: We believe in lifelong learning and civic engagement. We organize workshops, discussions, and skill-sharing sessions that empower individuals with practical knowledge and critical thinking tools.

• Artistic & Cultural: Art is a universal language and a powerful tool for expression and reflection. We host exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, theatre performances, and creative workshops, supporting both local artists and new artistic forms.

• Philosophical: We create space for deep reflection, ethical inquiry, and meaningful conversation about the human condition, values, and the world we co-create.

• Ecological: Our commitment to the planet is central. We promote sustainable living, environmental education, and projects that strengthen the connection between our community and the natural environment.

• Feminist: We operate from an intersectional feminist perspective, advocating for equality, diversity, and inclusivity. We create safe spaces for dialogue about gender, rights, and social justice, working to dismantle all forms of discrimination.

What We Do

We bring our mission to life through concrete actions:

• Interactive Workshops: From practical eco-skills and digital literacy to creative writing and feminist self-defense.

• Cultural Events: Concerts, vernissages, community theatre, poetry slams, and cultural festivals that animate our city.

• Discussion Clubs & Debate Nights: Facilitating respectful dialogue on current social issues, philosophy, and literature.

• Community Projects: Initiating and supporting grassroots projects that respond to local needs and aspirations.

• Collaborative Space: Offering our venue as a meeting point for informal groups, initiatives, and individuals looking to start something new.
