Film camp for teachers

Karolina Śmigiel

The Andrzej Wajda Centre for Film Culture, in collaboration with the Summer Film Academy in Zwierzyniec, invited educators to spend a few summer days in a truly enchanting and cinematic setting. At  Film Camp for teachers, there was no work with children or morning roll calls, but plenty of engaging activities centered on film and film education. Participants enjoyed workshops, lectures, and film screenings, all together with a focus on their mental and physical well-being.
