After-school club and integration holiday camp for children

We’d like to invite all children to our after-school club at Królowej Korony Polskiej 28 in Szczecin, where we organize teaching-compensatory classes for youngsters. Activities of the club are also connected with periodic encounters with culture: tours to museums, cinemas, theatres and meetings with people from the world of culture and art.
