Abstrakt

The subject of the study was the educational activities of local cultural centres in
Wałbrzych. The author asked about the impact of artistic activity (children, teenagers,
adults) on their competences and career paths. The research methods included
literature analysis, a case study of Wałbrzych cultural centres and a survey conducted
in September 2025 among 117 residents of Wałbrzych who regularly participate
in activities at local cultural centres. The author not only defined the scope of the
educational function of Wałbrzych cultural centres, as the research results revealed
that there is a strong need to increase the involvement of local cultural centres in
activities aimed at young people and students, as in many cases there is a strong
correlation between educational experiences in Wałbrzych cultural centres and the
professional plans and personal choices of the respondents.
