Applications for the NGO Zone at Open'er Festival 2026 are now open.
Did you know that non-governmental organizations have been co-creating the festival atmosphere in Gdynia since 2006? You are the ones who create this unique space, brimming with passion, important topics, and inspiring conversations.
The NGO Zone is a space that, for many, is a permanent fixture in the festival program. It's a place where meetings—both with festivalgoers and those within our community, between the organizations themselves - provide energy for action that resonates long after the festival ends.
Why is it worth joining the Zone?
This is where your mission reaches thousands of open-minded people, and you become part of an extraordinary group of organizations that thoughtfully respond to the challenges of today and reach out to those where support is most needed. Each edition is a perfect opportunity to once again demonstrate the power and diversity of the third sector and demonstrate the real change our collective presence in this space brings.
How to apply?
The rules are simple and clear:
1. Complete the NGO Survey
2. Describe your idea for your presence – we focus on authenticity, engaging activities, and direct contact with people.
Based on your suggestions, we will select organizations to work with us to create this unique atmosphere during the upcoming edition.
If you have any additional questions, please contact us at: [email protected]
See you in the NGO Zone at Open'er 2026!
