In March and April, we are organising a unique four-day writing workshop led by a duo who truly master the art of storytelling: Dorota Kara\u015b and Marek Sterlingow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sessions will be based, among other things, on content presented in the permanent exhibition of the Sybir Memorial Museum, allowing participants to work with authentic and deeply moving source material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is an intensive course spread over two weekends (28\u201329 March and 18\u201319 April, Saturdays and Sundays, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.), in which one group works together throughout the entire programme \u2013 from the first exercises to the final text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hosts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dorota Kara\u015b<\/strong> \u2013 journalist and writer, specialising in biographical and historical reportage, author of award-winning books, including Cybulski: Double Somersault<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marek Sterlingow<\/strong> \u2013 journalist, writer, and former war correspondent in Afghanistan. Co-author of The Birth of Solidarity<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they created the acclaimed biographies Walentynowicz. Anna szuka raju<\/em> and Urban<\/em>, both adapted for the stage by the \u0141a\u017ania Nowa Theatre. For years, they have been teaching the art of reportage at the European Solidarity Centre and conducting workshops for cultural institutions across Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will learn how to extract compelling stories from factual material \u2013 including that presented in the permanent exhibition of the Sybir Memorial Museum \u2013 and transform them into narratives with a strong emotional impact on the reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
