Every Friday during the summer holidays, we invite families to take part in workshops exploring the story of Polish children rescued a century ago from Siberia during a time of civil war and famine. Participants will learn how these children came to be so far from home and how, thanks to the assistance of the Japanese government, they eventually reached the Land of the Rising Sun. Through a variety of activities inspired by Japanese culture, including Kamishibai storytelling, participants will discover this remarkable chapter of history. At the end of the workshop, participants will decorate their own souvenir bag using the Japanese hapa zome dyeing technique.
