Local Activity Place (Miejsce Aktywności Lokalnej – MAL) is a space for meetings, joint activities and the implementation of inhabitants’ ideas. The aim of MAL is to create and strengthen local community.

The most important project for me was "Neighborhood Singing" – I supported Mr. Andrzej Kowalczyk, a resident of Ulrychów, in the implementation of his idea, including helping to obtain funding under the "Neighborhood Initiatives" program.
