Promoting and strengthening multiculturalism is the main goal of the Multicultural Center's activities. These actions are based on respect and tolerance for differences, as well as the elimination of prejudices and associated stereotypes.

The Multicultural Center conducts various activities aimed at all residents of Krakow, including city walks in different languages, language conversations, culinary workshops, multicultural breakfasts, conferences, meetings, concerts, and supports organizations, informal groups, and grassroots initiatives in organizing multicultural events.

Within the Multicultural Center, there is also an Information Point for Foreigners in Krakow. At the Point, every foreigner can obtain information regarding issues related to life and work in Poland.
