TENTH LOWER SILESIAN CIVIC CONGRESS
Conference
International Conference Center
Krzyżowa (Poland)
October 15th, 2025
An initiative by Akademia Profil as part of the Creative Europe Tramontana IV project.
The conference, titled “The 10th Lower Silesian Civic Congress”, held in Krzyżowa, brought together representatives of NGOs, public institutions, and local authorities from across the Lower Silesian region in Poland. Akademia Profil was represented by Magdalena Masewicz-Kierzkowska and Maciej Kierzkowski, who took part in the main panels as well as in two thematic meetings.
One session was dedicated to the Moc Małych Społeczności programme and other funding opportunities for NGOs, moderated by a representative of the National Institute of Freedom — one of Poland’s leading grant-making institutions in the field of culture and heritage. The second focused on European grants supporting the development of local NGOs and was moderated by a representative of the Lower Silesian Federation of NGOs.
The conference provided an excellent opportunity to share information about the Tramontana Network project and to establish new associative partnerships.
