About the region
Opolskie is a multicultural region where the citizens are well-educated, open-minded and active, where economy is competitive and innovative and where the living environment is more than friendly. It also is the smallest and the least populated region in Poland (what will not stop us achieving our goals!). The name Opolskie comes from the capital city of the region - Opole.
Our current challenges are demographic change and depopulation.
