This year, Children’s Day, one of the nicest holidays on the calendar, will be celebrated at the University of Silesia in a specific way.
A lecture, workshops, and a fairy tale
On 31 May (Monday), on the eve of Children’s Day, Prof. Ewa Jarosz, the Vice-Rector for Staff Development, will deliver the Children, social life actors: about the participation rights lecture on children’s rights. It is worth noting that Prof. Ewa Jarosz has been dealing with issues such as the development of the idea of children’s rights and its social implementation and the violence against children in her research. The broadcast of the lecture will start at 6 p.m. and will be available on the University of Silesia’s Facebook and YouTube Channel.
On 1 June (Tuesday) at 11 a.m. we invite all children for craftwork workshops “Tańcząca Cieszynianka” (Dancing Cieszyn Girl) inspired by the Cieszyn folk costume. The workshops will be led by Agnieszka Pawlitko. During the workshops, children will glue, cut out, colour, draw, and, of course, dance. They will also learn a lot of fascinating facts about the individual elements of Cieszyn folk costume. The workshops will be prepared in cooperation with the National House in Cieszyn and the Centre of Cieszyn Silesia Folklore and under the #KierujSięNaTradycję (Head Towards Tradition) initiative.
The culmination of the Children’s Day at the University of Silesia will be the “University’s fairy tale” read at 7 p.m. by Prof. Ryszard Koziołek, Rector of the University of Silesia.
All children are welcome to spend their holiday with the University of Silesia!
All the events will be available on the University’s Facebook and YouTube Channel.
