Neighbourhood Centre Przystań Śmidowicza 49

Activity description

Przystań Śmidowicza 49 is a part of the network of Neighbourhood Centres in Gdynia – spaces for the local inhabitants where they can invent and implement their ideas, exchange passions with others and integrate. These are places of developing ideas, broadening interests, establishing new friendships, tightening bonds and intergenerational integration. Anyone willing can lead classes, take part in meetings organized by neighbours or simply drop by for coffee or tea. Przystań is a place fuelled with the creativity and commitment of the residents - that is why in the neighbourhood centres, among others, are organized: sports activities, tailoring, culinary activities, meetings with travellers, neighbourhood parents' clubs chats, and even board games or karaoke tournaments. We take care of a friendly atmosphere and a welcoming attitude towards neighbourly integration. Everyone is welcome here and we all treat each other with respect.
