The past months have been a period of building strong foundations, launching concrete initiatives and consistently developing the idea that has guided our Association from the very beginning: we promote, we integrate, we support.

From an idea to an officially registered Association

One of the most important milestones was the official registration of the Association, allowing us to begin operating formally and pursue the objectives defined in our Statute.

Another significant moment was the official launch of the Association’s activities and the presentation of the directions in which we intend to develop.

From the beginning, our ambition has been to create more than an organisation that exists only on paper. We want to build a space for people, ideas and initiatives connected with Bytom, Silesia and Poland.

Promoting Bytom – showing the city through our own eyes

One of our key objectives is building a positive image of Bytom and promoting it as a place to live, work, do business and invest.

Through our original project “Kwiatkowscy dla Bytomia” (“The Kwiatkowski Family for Bytom”), we systematically create our own photographs and videos.

We present not only the city’s best-known locations, but also its everyday life, history, architecture, nature, railway heritage, trams, industrial character and places that often remain outside the main tourist routes.

Our content is published across social media and YouTube. The first results demonstrate growing interest in this way of telling Bytom’s story. Some Facebook materials have reached more than 1,000 and even over 6,000 views, while videos on YouTube are reaching hundreds and thousands of viewers.

For us, however, the numbers are not the most important thing. What matters is that Bytom is being seen, discovered and presented from a different perspective.

Bytom is more than its city centre

We take a broad approach to promoting the city. We also present its districts, green and recreational areas, Żabie Doły, family allotment gardens (ROD), local nature and the everyday lifestyle of its residents.

Promoting allotment gardens, green spaces, recreation and an active lifestyle supports several of our statutory objectives at the same time: environmental protection, local engagement, community integration, sport, recreation and sustainable tourism.

Bytom is our starting point, but our perspective is broader

The Association’s objectives also include promoting Silesia and Poland as attractive places to live, conduct business and invest.

We want to present the region through its people, places, entrepreneurship, culture, history and contemporary development opportunities.

Integration, culture, education and community engagement

An important part of our mission is local engagement, integration and the professional development of residents, together with activities in the fields of culture and education.

The Association aims to connect residents, entrepreneurs and people involved in culture, sport, education and community initiatives.

Our objectives also include counteracting social and professional exclusion and supporting people at risk of such exclusion.

Sport, recreation and an active lifestyle

We aim to support sporting, recreational and tourism events as well as initiatives encouraging residents to stay active, enjoy nature and spend time together.

This area also includes the promotion of sailing and sustainable tourism and recreation conducted with respect for the natural environment.

Blood donation – initiatives that can save lives

Another statutory objective is the promotion of voluntary blood donation.

We intend to support educational activities and social campaigns and cooperate with institutions and organisations promoting blood donation, bone marrow donation and other initiatives that help protect life and health.

This is only the beginning

The registration of the Association, its official launch, the development of the “Kwiatkowscy dla Bytomia” project, the creation of promotional materials about the city, our presence on social media and YouTube, and our first initiatives related to nature, recreation and local lifestyle represent only the first stage of our activities.

We intend to consistently pursue the objectives for which the Association was established: to promote Bytom, Silesia and Poland, bring people together, support valuable initiatives and build a positive image of the place in which we live.

We do not want simply to say that Bytom has potential.

We want to show that potential – through images, action, cooperation and the stories of the people who make this city what it is.
