Łódź Design Festival
Do we know how a city looks through a child’s eyes? How does it smell, sound? What should be changed, so it is friendly and inviting, and so children feel save in there? Join the City of children workshop during Łódź Design Festival!

Urban anti-educator
In my work with children I have adopted a role of anti-educator.
Calling myself another name would be unfair, as during my meetings with children it is me who learns. Only listening to children, giving attention to their needs and what they have to say, I can show them the importance of being sensitive to the needs of others, also in urban space.
ADE – Let’s meet
On the 1st December during the second edition of “ADE Let’s meet. Presentations, networking, workshops” I will talk on my work with children. The meeting for architecture educators is organised by National Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning.
Instagram account
Let’s talk about children. Let’s talk with children. Today I have launched an instagram account for cityforchildren. Check it!
And where are you going to have a playground? Everywhere!
I like charrette workshop a lot. It is one of the most sustainable consultation methods, allowing to hear needs of many stakeholders. I also like a lot Mycielski Architecture and Urbanism (MAU) design studio, which is a pioneer of that method in Poland. In addition I miss Teatralny square in Warsaw (presently a big car park, where Polish National Opera is) from 2016. Then, on the occassion of Music Days cars dissapeared for a couple of days, and the space was filled up with greenery and people (photo above). So, when the three elements met and I read that MAU would be organising charrette workshop on the square on the city’s commision, I knew I would take part in it.
