The Polish Origami Association acts in order to popularize the art of Origami. The main aims of the Association are: organizing workshops and conferences that will help to develop and integrate Origami society, publishing bulletins and other educational materials facing needs of the Association's members, developing cooperation with polish and foreign creators, helping beginners and supporting initiatives popularizing the art of Origami.

The membership in our Association is available for adult citizens of Poland and foreigners. Members are entitled to participate in events organized by the Association, to receive a printed bulletin (except for those who signed up for a membership without a right to receive the bulletin) and to have access to materials available only for the members that are published on the Association website.

There is a possibility to publish articles, photos, diagrams and crease patterns of own designed works on the Association website. If the submitted materials are of a highest level, they are to be published in the original (English version required) and translated to Polish. We reserve the right to correct and short submitted texts and diagrams if necessary.

Members are obliged to pay regularly the membership fee. The fee is paid once annually. After a yearlong membership, a member gains voting rights. After two years of being a member and gaining an instructor degree, one may candidate to the management frame of the Association.

Branches and circles of the Association are established when a justified motion is submitted by a group of members. Tenure of the management lasts 4 years. Work of the Association is coordinated by the 5 person management frame: Chairman, two Vicechairmans, Secretary and Treasurer.

The membership is available also for persons under 18 with a parental permission. Members under 18 have the same rights as adults except from the voting right.
