The first goal was the organisation of a series of prestigious events in all areas of culture, connected with the title European Capital of Culture of 2000 granted to Krakow. The ventures of that period, in this dozens of festivals, grounded the position of the Office as a significant organiser of cultural events in Poland and Europe. The unique experiences country-wide, contacts and know-how are its strong sides.
