Inkubator Kultury | Mature relationships in culture
About the event
The workshop addresses the current situation and needs of the culture sector and is part of a global trend of “bottom-up depolarization” – civic movements based on the idea that improving the quality of public debate begins with changing the way ordinary people talk to one another. In the context of cultural spaces, which often bring together communities with diverse worldviews, the training provides practical tools for having safe conversations about difficult topics.
The workshop will be led by Joanna Zięba and Joanna Szymańska from Fundacja Nowej Wspólnoty.
