From 15 September to 15 October, proposals are being accepted for the 9th edition of the Civic Budget of the Małopolska Region. All you need is an idea and 30 signatures on a support list! Take matters into your own hands!
Previous editions have proved how much can be achieved thanks to the involvement of residents, both at the stage of submitting proposals and voting. The Civic Budget is a wonderful initiative — over 450 completed projects, whose need was identified and submitted by the residents themselves! That is what makes it special! In this project, residents truly have the power to make things happen!
— says Marta Malec-Lech from the regional board.
Learning to play bridge, rowing, tennis, zumba, open-air cinema, tourist excursions, repairing cycling paths, purchasing musical instruments and costumes for regional ensembles, purchasing a book dispensing machine, AED equipment, repairing pavements along regional roads, social campaigns for safety and much more. These are just a few examples of projects that were implemented from the regional budget, and it was the votes of the interested parties themselves — the region’s residents — that decided their success.
A proposal to the Civic Budget of the Małopolska Region can be submitted by any resident of Małopolska who is at least 16 years of age.
Send it, print it out and deliver it along with the support list to the office!
Important: each proposal must be supported by a minimum of 30 residents.
