Last week, we celebrated a very special milestone – the 2nd birthday of the IB Poland Education and Support Center in Nowa Huta!
Two years ago, our journey at Górali 24 began, a journey full of diverse activities, courses, workshops, and wide-ranging support: legal, professional, psychological, and informational. But above all, it has been two years since we built a strong, welcoming community.
From Idea to Reality
In April 2023, we submitted our proposal to a competition organized by the City of Krakow and Shell to run the Education and Support Center. We were proud to win, and after intensive renovation, supported by volunteers from Shell and other companies, the doors of our Center opened in September 2023.
By March 2024, we expanded our headquarters under the IB Polska brand in Nowa Huta, creating a vibrant space open to all, long-time residents as well as newcomers. Here, cultures, nationalities, and generations meet and grow together.
Birthday Celebration
Our jubilee was celebrated together with representatives from the City of Krakow, Shell Polska, and many wonderful people connected to our Center.
During the ceremony, Shell Polska announced further support for our activities:
-100,000 PLN for current operations
- 50 laptops and phones donated directly to the IB Polska Foundation
Together with Shell, we also prepared gifts for our amazing volunteers, colorful fanny packs with the slogan “Here I carry good”, sewn by seamstresses from the Center for Social Integration in Tychy. Guests were also invited to a short lecture about the possibilities of volunteering at IB Polska in Huta.
Thank You
We are deeply grateful to all employees, neighbors, participants, institutions, companies, and friends of IB Poland for their trust, smiles, and kindness. Thanks to you, we have organized hundreds of workshops, courses, and events, supporting thousands of people over the past two years.
