Dom Kultur (which translates directly as House of Cultures), located in Warsaw's Praga district, is a meeting, support and development place for people from different cultures and nations.
The welcoming space at 18 Brzeska Street hosts more than 20 different programs each week, offered free of charge: language classes, support and therapy groups, creative and sports activities, intercultural workshops, concerts, and pastoral meetings. There is also a humanitarian aid distribution once a week (registration is required).
Dom Kultur began in 2023 as a response to the need for an inclusive, international place to practice Christian hospitality, where visitors become hosts, actively contributing to the program and outreach offerings. To date, the Dom Kultur has hosted people from more than 60 countries.

"Mehmon" means, in Persian, a guest who is welcome and whose arrival brings blessings.
This is also the name of the project, which supports residents of detention centers and people with refugee experience who are building a new life in Warsaw.
We run a weekly program aimed at integration and psychosocial support at the Center for Foreigners in Linin and a volunteer-education program in Warsaw; we also regularly visit closed centers for foreigners throughout Poland.
We help people with refugee experience to learn the Polish language, organize life in their new environment and meet their basic needs. We also offer pastoral support: we work with an Arabic-speaking church and create a Persian-speaking community.
In our work, we meet people whose experiences, separation from loved ones, and difficult emotions associated with having to leave their homes have robbed them of hope. These people need specialised help to cope with trauma, loss, fear, pain and depression.
That is why we opened the Psalm Counseling Centre at Brzeska 18 in Warsaw. We offer consultations in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian, English, and Persian. We provide free psychological support to people with refugee experience.
The Psalm Counseling Centre is a safe space where you can tell your story, express difficult emotions, and rebuild your faith in a bright future with the help of a specialist.
Registration takes place via the website: www.PoradniaPsalm.pl, by email: poradnia.pl@om.org or by phone: 798 516 656.
Group program for children after experiencing sudden change, difficult life circumstances, trauma and stress.
OpSAFE was developed by specialists based on their knowledge and experience of providing assistance in situations of displacement, war, and natural disasters. The program is aimed at children from Ukraine, but can also be used in mixed groups.
The goal of the five-day half-day program is to rebuild a sense of security, integrate, strengthen relationships and alleviate symptoms associated with post-traumatic stress. The program can also be adapted to other formats.
Our team not only organizes OpSAFE classes, but also regularly trains volunteers to provide psychological first aid to children - we have trained hundreds of volunteers and implemented the program for thousands of children in locations across the country.
Weekly integration activities for children and adults in accommodation centres for Ukrainians.
The activities, carried out in three centers around Warsaw, focus on psychosocial support for residents, both children and adults. Trained volunteers work in cross-cultural and international teams - in total, we have hosted more than 300 volunteers from dozens of countries.
The program includes movement games, art and music activities, relaxation exercises, conversations in English and storytelling based on Bible stories. Meetings also include elements of abuse and violence prevention.
The Response Team is a team particularly suited to responding quickly, flexibly to emerging needs. In the earlier stages of the war in Ukraine, it was also stationed at the Dorohusk and Zosin border crossings and ran programs in Okuninka, Lublin Province, providing assistance to more than 70,000 people.
Food, clothing or hygiene supplies are all essential to rebuild hope and a sense of agency. We understand our mission as caring for the whole person, including materially. We carry it out through distributions of in-kind aid and humanitarian transports.
Care Fair is a project in Warsaw, in which more than 1,000 families participate, benefiting from regular material support (new clothes and shoes, food, cleaning and hygeine products). The beneficiaries are people from vulnerable groups in the refugee population: people with disabilities, widows, pensioners caring for grandchildren. To receive assistance, one must go through a qualification process.
Between 2022 and 2024, we also organised regular shipments of food, medical supplies and clothing to frontline towns in Ukraine, where we donated more than 300 tons of material aid.
Major project partners:
In Kutno, together with the local church, we have been organizing youth prevention programs, language classes, sports workshops, intercultural meetings and other activities to support the local community for many years.
We help people in difficult life situations, foreigners, people coming out of violent environments. We run integration programs with families from Ukraine.
Multifaceted support for teens in a world that is unpredictable and full of tension. It's a youth movement that inspires a life full of purpose and values that flow from following Jesus.
Teenstreet is about initiatives that strengthen their sense of meaning, identity and unleash the potential for good that we see in the younger generation. It's friendship, education, regular team-building events, and an annual trip to meet thousands of young people from all over Europe.
The program is aimed at young people aged 13-18 who speak Ukrainian (Polish, Russian).
The world's needs don't stop at Poland! The Mobilisation Team organises meetings, workshops and training sessions on getting involved in OM's global projects.
We prepare volunteers and missionaries, develop cross-cultural awareness, teach good practices - all in order to effectively bring hope and aid to all nations.
Our speakers are practitioners, with extensive knowledge and rich cross-cultural experience. They prepare programs appropriate to the context, age and interests of the audience.
