CBI operates in seven countries through private individuals who, like us, are fascinated by the idea of building a community. Each country has a person responsible for CBI activities, organizing workshops and promoting the idea of communities. In Poland, such a person is Emila Ślimko, with whom we co-create (together with a group of enthusiasts) the movement of building communities in Poland.
