What does the construction of Terminal 3 of the Baltic Hub and Mr Jan, who runs a community library in the Stogi district of Gdansk, have in common? An audit!

An audit is not just about checking documentation, it is also about working on the ground. As part of the audit of the construction of Terminal 3 Baltic Hub, we spoke to Mr Jan, a social activist who runs a community library in the Stogi district of Gdansk. He has donated his collection to it. It’s over 30,000 volumes! When it turned out that children needed not only books, but also help with their studies, Mr Jan organised classes: maths, programming, language and art. The library has 500 square metres at its disposal. Access to the book collection is free, the atmosphere is friendly and intimate, and it’s hardly surprising that the kids like being there.

We also spoke to the ladies working on the terminal site. – There aren’t many of them, so it’s all the more reason to check that they have the right working conditions, such as separate changing rooms, as required by the EBRD, says Anita Kuliś.

Terminal 3 of the Baltic Hub is being built, but it also actively supports the local community with interesting projects in various fields: from the purchase of a car for the children’s hospice, to the inventory and valorisation of natural resources, to the retrofitting of classrooms in schools and the social welfare home.
