What does openness mean to us

Openness is a key value for Centrum Cyfrowe.
Openness means caring about what’s shared. It’s a readiness to cooperate and share knowledge and skills. It’s the ability to look at what’s new from the perspective of the common good. It also means caring about the rights and needs of users.
Openness is in the attitudes of people. It means being ready to change, grow and adjust to new circumstances.
Openness is a state of resources. It guarantees an equal access to culture, knowledge, content, data, code and technology. The free use of such resources allows people to develop their skills, be creative and fulfill their needs. It influences the shape of circulations and systems in which they exist.
