Freedom Workshops. Let’s Meet & Talk!

Join us for a series of workshops discussing stereotypes and superstitions. Hosted by Huseyin Celik.

Upcoming meeting: November 28, 2024 at 18:00

FREEDOM WORKSHOPS

We invite everyone to participate in a series of five discussions / workshops focused on stereotypes and prejudices against ethnic, religious, and other minority groups. These sessions aim to foster understanding and promote dialogue about the challenges faced by marginalized communities.

The main goal of the cycle is to hold meetings on stereotypes about special groups. People will learn about these groups and free themselves from their stereotypes. In this way, we will reach freedom.

During the meetings, there will be presentations and workshops. People will have the opportunity to meet people from these special groups. They will be able to understand how many stereotypes they have for these groups. They will also get answers to their questions.
We specifically chose these groups because we think people have too many stereotypes about these groups.

The initiator and main facilitator of the Workshops is
Huseyin Celik – a journalist, activist, and expert on Turkey, Islam, and migration. He hails from Turkey and has been living in Poland for the past six years. His work is focused on promoting peace, dialogue, and human rights.

We want to reach Freedom from stereotypes! The only way to do it – is to meet and talk!

In the first meeting, we will talk with Muslim men and women and reconstruct together the common patterns present in our society concerning that religious community. We will interrogate ourselves, we will try to get to know each other and discover together the ways on how to become free from prejudices.

Join us and stay tuned for the next meetings to come!

We would like to invite you to the workshop “Let’s talk about Africa”, which is the second workshop within the framework of our project “Freedom”.

There are too many stereotypes about Africa. To begin with, we think of Africa as one country. Join our workshop and learn how diverse Africa is and see it through the eyes of Africans.
The meeting will include a presentation on geographic and cultural diversity in Africa and a workshop on stereotypes. Participants will be able to ask questions and learn more about Africa.

We believe that by getting to know each other, we can break down stereotypes, become more aware and open, and ultimately freer.

The Vietnamese community in Poland, comprising around 30,000–60,000 people, is one of the most active minority groups in the country. Vietnamese people have settled in Poland in two main migration waves: during the communist era under agreements with North Vietnam, and post-1989 for economic reasons.
How do they live? Where do they work? How do they see themselves and their community in Poland?

🤝 We will answer these and other questions during the fourth meeting in the “Freedom Workshop” series, dedicated to the Vietnamese community living in Poland.

Facilitator:
Huseyin Celik – Journalist, activist, and expert on Turkey, Islam, and migration. Originally from Turkey, he has been living in Poland for six years. He advocates for peace, dialogue, and human rights.

Guest Speaker:
Tôn Vân Anh – Polish-Vietnamese journalist, actress, translator, writer, educator, and activist for democracy and human rights.
