Awards in Competitions Supporting Rural Communities

The 2026 edition of the Harvest Academy took place today (3 November) at the Karbówko Settlement in Elgiszewo, Golub-Dobrzyń County. The event was attended by Dariusz Kurzawa, Member of the Regional Executive Board, and Pawel Zgórzyński, a Regional Councillor. During the event, we presented awards to the winners of two annual competitions organised for rural communities.

“The countryside in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie region is becoming increasingly prosperous and a better place to live. It offers inspiring examples of local communities working effectively together and getting involved in local affairs.
