NGO OPEN SOUL POLAND

Open Soul is a newly created association in Poland. We wanted to create a safe place for everybody. We can see what our communities need and we want to give opportunities to fulfil those needs. Open Soul has been created because of the common problem in Poland which is young people's fear of discovering and trying new things. We want encourage young people to travel, use foreign languages, get to know unknown cultures, discover talents and use them to change the world. As a newly created NGO we haven't taken part in many projects. However, members of Open Soul are familiar with the Erasmus + projects. They have taken part in writing and also participating in projects for High schools and projects like YE or ToT. Open Soul's main goals are to create a place in where you will find support, help and prospects for self-development.
