We regularly organize community events that bring Black, African and Afro-descendent people together across linguistic, cultural and other differences. At these events, it’s also important for us that African Diasporic communities recognize and can create connections with the Afro-Polish community in Poland.
BJP community events are mostly informal social gatherings that facilitate people getting to know each other, making connections, learning from each other, and building a sense of community and belonging. The annual BJP summer BBQ and our end-of-year holiday gathering are the best examples of such events.
We also organize smaller events for specific groups of beneficiaries (e.g. our “Mum2Mum” series for mums with small children) as well as more structured events, such as workshops and trainings on specific topics (e.g. job-seeking in Poland, workers’ rights in Poland, mutual support groups).
