Dorożkarnia Children and Youth Culture Center is one of the most active institutions in Warsaw,
which promotes children and youth amateur artistic activity. Its main objective is to create a suitable
place and atmosphere in order to enable young people from all around Warsaw, especially from Lower
Mokotów area, to present their achievements, realize their dreams and aspirations, develop their talents
and acquaint themselves better with the world of art. Child and youth artists not only attend regular weekly
classes, but also take active part in cyclic workshops and weekend stage presentations. There are a few
dozens of various workshops and artistic groups at the Center, including several theatre and dance groups.
While implementing its educational and cultural program, Dorożkarnia organizes and participates in many
significant cultural events not only of local, but also of national and international character.
Dorożkarnia is a center of artistic and educational activity, which is located in a special place - in the Warsaw
district of Siekierki, that is a region which - until recently - was considered socially backward and civilizationally
underdeveloped. The location connotes the character and mission of our Center, although it does not define it
unequivocally. Our daily activity takes into account the needs of the local community. However, we also carry
out municipal, voivodship and all -Poland projects. Like all cultural centers in the city, we welcome children and
youth from all around Warsaw and it is especially with them in mind that we organize fine arts and ceramics
classes, vocal studio, film workshops, theatre groups and other specialist forms of artistic activity. However,
we also implement projects addressed to children and youth from Siekierki district - we are trying to help them
with their specific problems, educate and entertain them, as well as motivate them towards creative work.
