Living Library Lodz 2023

We would like to invite you to the Living Library! It will take place on November 19, 2023 at the Marek Edelman Dialogue Center. We invite all those who would like to visit us for the first time, but also those who, like us, miss meeting and talking with Living Books.

We will be soon posting the information about the titles of the Books that will be available for the conversation on the 19th of November, 11.00 am-7.00 pm. We invite you! FREE ADMISSION!
---------------------------------------------
There is no library without books.
The Living Library is therefore based on cooperation with Living Books - people who stand out from the society, with minorities seen through the prism of harmful stereotypes and experiencing discrimination. Anyone can become a reader - you just need to register in place and get a library card. Then you can borrow the selected Book and talk with them for 30 minutes. All questions are allowed - of course, respecting the principles of personal culture and respect for the other person.
The event is organized by the Dialogue Center and the Equality Factory.
Venue: Marek Edelman Dialogue Center, 83. Wojska Polskiego St. (in the ?Survivors' Park)
Time: 19.11.2023, 11:00 am-19:00 pm.

Wykład "Wojny o ziemię obiecaną. Konflikt izraelsko-palestyński" zapozna uczniów z XX-wieczną historią obszaru, na którym powstało państwo Izrael. Działania ruchu syjonistycznego, polityka brytyjska po rozpadzie Imperium Osmańskiego oraz historia państwa Izrael składają się na nieczytelną układankę tworzącą teraźniejszość tego regionu.
Wiedza ta ułatwi uczniom odnalezienie się w natłoku trudnych informacji dostarczanych przez mass media i media społecznościowe.

How old is old age? creative workshop (5+)

On November 5, Sunday, at 12:00 pm, we encourage the whole family to participate in a creative workshop entitled "How old is old age?" (5+) on designing old age, conducted in the spirit of theater pedagogy, engaging imagination, intuition, body, voice and group energy.

How do we imagine our future and our old age?

How can we work with the "new old age" in the future today?

Can activating the old/old in ourselves be as exciting as traveling into space?

We will consider what old age is and where we meet it, what we hear about it. We will check if it is possible to talk with old age and what we want to ask it. Using the body, gestures and imagination, we will set in motion fantasies about our futures and old age. We will build a common estate of the future "New Old Age" and invent an estate game for neighbors and neighbors.

The workshop will be led in Polish by Iga Dzięgielewska - cultural education specialist at the Halina and Jan Machulski Ochota Theater in Warsaw. She has worked with TR Warsaw, Children's Art Center in Poznan, Sto Pociech Foundation, Powszechny Theater, Ognisko teatralne "u Machulskich", European Solidarity Center, Nowy Theater in Warsaw, Great Histories Association, Józef Piłsudski Museum in Sulejówek, Theater Institute. She is a graduate of cultural studies at Warsaw University.

Admission to the event is free, but registration via form is required:
