Documentary Academy: How should we respond to various crises? A discussion with Maja Pietrusiewicz and Aleksandra Łoboda from the Widzialne Foundation
after the screening EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET, dir. Felipe Bustos Sierra
Recommended age: 14+
How should we respond to various crises? What can an individual do to express their opposition to what is happening? How can we build alliances around shared causes? How can we ensure that our civic actions are effective and have a real impact on the world?
We will seek answers to these and other questions during the workshop, which will take place after the screening of the film ‘Everyone to Kenmure Street’. During the session, you will receive a wealth of practical knowledge on how to get involved in civic and social issues, as well as have the chance to test your knowledge in an interactive quiz.
Guests:
Maja Pietrusiewicz – a lawyer and criminologist committed to the fight for human rights. She is a co-founder of the Widzialne Foundation, where she supports people experiencing exclusion by building their self-confidence and awareness. She also works with the Watchdog Polska Association, monitoring the authorities and promoting the right to public information.
Aleksandra Łoboda – co-founder and chair of the board of the feminist Widzialne Foundation, where she is responsible for advocacy, communications and civic engagement. She fights against discrimination, particularly on the grounds of gender and country of origin. In her work, she adopts an intersectional approach, paying particular attention to the rights of people from groups at risk of exclusion.
