Its wide-ranging programme is intended to foster the development of children's and teenagers' artistic talents, particularly theatre education. The Centre got its name in 1981, in memoriam of ANDRZEJ BURSA, a Krakow poet, writer, and playwright, who died in 1957 at the age of 25. The first significant theatre successes on the national scale came with the play Learning To Walk (Nauka chodzenia) based on Andrzej Bursa's works, produced by the PULS ensemble. In order to make the theatre education programme more comprehensive, a permanent young actors' group called the SCENA "i" was founded. The Scena "i" promotes the theatre movement, as well as provides specialist consultation for students and teachers that work on theatre productions in their schools. The letter 'i' in the group's name stands for its chief tenets: inspiration, interpretation, innovation, initiation, impertinence and other ideas. Young audiences and artists are welcome to the group's meetings every Monday during the school year at 6 p.m. The theatre has hosted performances by groups from France, Germany, England, and Ukraine. Since 1995, The Scena "i" has been involved in a project entitled MŁODY TEATR BEZ GRANIC (Young Theatre Without Frontiers), as part of which international meetings (workshops or joint theatre projects) are held. Besides, the ensembles have participated in major national theatre events such as: The Krakowskie Reminiscencje Teatralne, The Łódzkie Spotkania Teatralne, The Thorton Wilder Drama Festival in Poznań, The Prezentacje Teatralne MESSIS in the Adam Mickiewicz Theatre in Częstochowa, The SACRUM w Literaturze in Częstochowa, The Horynieckie Reminiscencje in Przemyśl, The Spotkania in Warsa
