Making room for a better world
At our Aleja Bielany meeting place in Wroclaw, visitors can find FOROOM, an intercultural community point where people don’t necessarily speak the same language, but where everyone wants to understand each other.
With our size and scope come responsibilities as well as great opportunities to do something good for the many people. We strongly believe that through our business we can support as well as influence positive change, so we continuously look for many chances to make people’s lives better.
What does this mean at a practical level? How do we turn our people-positive strategy into concrete actions? Well, one way is to engage people in a lively agenda of initiatives, experiences in our meeting places aimed at promoting diversity, equality and inclusion. And FOROOM is the perfect example of how this comes to life.
Created by our team at Aleja Bielany meeting place in Wroclaw in collaboration with many different partners, FOROOM is a lot more than just one spacious room: it’s an intercultural community point both for immigrants and the people of Wroclaw created to inspire inclusion for all visitors of the meeting place. It’s a space for exchanging ideas, sharing experiences and life stories – all of this, always in an international environment.
FOROOM allows everyone – regardless of nationality, gender, age, beliefs, etc.. – to participate in creative workshops that offer an insight into various cultures and promote diversity. It also offers language courses, clubs, meetings and cultural events.
People from the local communities can join the Young Diversity Trainers Programme, a yearly training consisting in sessions aimed at developing multi-cultural competences and skills to fighting discrimination, hate and exclusion. At the end of the first semester, participants are able to join meetings, lectures, cultural days and other projects co-funded and co-organised with different partners of our Aleja Bielany meeting place.
In these challenging times, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our co-workers, partners, and customers. That's why we are closely following the advice of authorities and healthcare organizations in all our markets to help minimize the spread of COVID-19. We believe that by working together and supporting each other we will come through this as a stronger community.
We are all looking forward to a safe future.
