The Mazovian Programme of Cultural Education is an initiative that aims to raise the profile of cultural education, improve access to it, emphasise its importance for social development, and provide support to cultural managers and educators. In this article the programme is presented in the context of contemporary theories on cultural and educational activities, and their significance for development in its broadest sense. Involved directly in the implementation of the programme, the authors of the article discuss its tools and methods, conclusions from the programme applications in practice, as well as the approach and values adopted as guidelines throughout the programme.
