On 16 and 18 June two working meetings of the "School of Dialogue" project took place. Of course both virtual. The first was devoted to seeking further financing for the implementation of the project. The second was a meeting of the extended working group and concerned the adaptation of Dutch materials to the Polish education system and Polish cultural conditions.
The second meeting brought together people from Amsterdam (Anne Frank House), Rotterdam (CED Groep), Wrocław (University of Lower Silesia), Berlin (trainer) and of course the Krzyżowa team (some from Wrocław, some from Krzyżowa). It was possible to constructively plan further work on the adaptation of the program and the comments of its creators from the Netherlands, who also shared their experience with the implementation of the program in schools, were invaluable here.

The TikTok app has reached one billion active users faster than any other social network ever. The app is, also thanks to Corona, an indispensable part of the smartphone for many young people. But how exactly does the app work and what makes it so special compared to Instagram and Snapchat? What dangers does it offer, but also what opportunities? Is there a balance between lip-sync and political participation that we can find and focus on in terms of young people's media literacy and to create a responsible use of the app in the future?
These are the questions we will address in our 70-minute webinar. The event will be held in Polish and English and will be translated.
