The project responds to the growing interest in cultural participation, which needs to be strengthened. This increase is partly due to the increased activity of cultural actors who financed their projects through grants in the financing perspective of 2007-13 (including an indirect grant as a task outsourced from the UM WKP) and, in part, the development of human capital. Civil society, aware of its resources, rights and opportunities, expects access to culture in its close surroundings and is increasingly engaged in various types of initiatives by actively participating in their implementation. As a result of the progressive development of society, it is necessary to diversify and enrich the cultural offer, so as to prevent potential recipients from leaving to active centres offering more attractive ways of using leisure time and, consequently, the financial resources allocated to it. Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship has many cultural events successfully carried out cyclically for many years. In accordance with the concept of this project, two new projects have also been proposed, which are part of and will complement the existing offer. The assumption of all events within the project is to popularise participation in cultural events in the voivodship as a form of spending free time both as a viewer, as well as the involved participant – organiser (e.g. through volunteering). This will make it possible to encourage the audience to participate in thematic events and to move within the region for cultural purposes. As a result, attendance at individual events will increase, native cultural institutions will receive a positive feedback address motivating the development of their projects, and culture will be a stronger factor in socio-economic development.
