Youth Laboratory for Creative Practices | International Workshop
From 20-25 February, the Powszechny Theatre hosted an intensive creative workshop for young people with artists from Italy, Poland and Ukraine.
The workshop offered an opportunity to try your hand at collaborative and individual creation - in theatre, dance, writing and improvisation. In an international group, we considered how art can help us talk about what is important to us, how it can be a support in getting used to a new place of residence, meeting new people and building relationships. In the workshops, we created short theatre, dance and video forms, told and wrote stories. Participants took part in tasks, games and theatrical improvisations. Through the language of art, we talked about what is important to us in today's world, what moves and concerns us on a daily basis, what encourages us, energises us, makes us curious and intrigued.

School on Migration 2025
The School on Migration is a space for exchanging knowledge, skills and tools. In the program, we address the most important issues concerning contemporary migration, analyze humanitarian crises at borders, and reflect on the intersection of migration and climate issues.
The School on Migration is for everyone who organizes or wants to organize cultural initiatives in their local communities, including and supporting joint activities of people with different cultural backgrounds - for cultural animators, artists, social workers, activists, teachers, employees of NGOs and cultural institutions, leaders of grassroots local activities - regardless of previous experience in organizing such initiatives, regardless of gender, origin and time of living in Poland. We encourage especially those working with young people in multicultural environments or interested in implementing such activities to participate in this year's edition. As part of the program, the participants will receive substantive and financial support to enable them to implement initiatives aimed at migrant and refugee youth. During the workshops, we will meet with people working with refugee youth, including Iza Orłów from Przystanek Świetlica Foundation for Freedom, who will lead a workshop inspired by her methods of working with young people with the migration background. In addition, together with the teams from Strefa WolnoSłowa and Cantieri Meticci from Bologna, we will explore artistic tools and methods of working with people of different ages and cultural backgrounds.
Dates of meetings: March 22 and 23, April 26 and 27, May 24 and 25, June 28 and 29, September 27 and 28 + final meeting in November 2025 (date to be confirmed)
