Project description:
We would like to kindly invite you to take part in the project named “Let’s Promote #Solid@rity!” (please read the invitation here). The main goal of the project is to remind young people of the events related to the establishment of Independent Self-governing Trade Union “Solidarity”. This year we celebrate the 40th anniversary of signing of the Gdańsk Agreement (also known as the August Agreements) and the role of Poland in the fall of communism.
Regarding the current situation connected with the pandemics, this year the project is going to be implemented in the virtual reality. Such a change was introduced in order to guarantee safety to all participants and the possibility to participate in the project that is also the part of the biggest international event dedicated to the youth – the 15th Economic Forum of Young Leaders. 15th Economic Forum of Young Leaders – Online, which will be held on 8-10 September 2020. This year’s situation forced us to take unusual steps, thanks to technology we can transform the 15th Economic Forum of Young Leaders to Online form and meet you in virtual reality. Be with us during this special event! We build this year’s Forum program around the thesis “Solidarity of Young Leader – Future Skill“.
Within this project participants are going to take part in online workshops about international cooperation, e.g. how the international cooperation should be strengthen, and overwhelming fake news, e.g. how to distinguish fake news from the real information.
This year, participants will have an amazing opportunity to participate in:
✔ practical online workshops,
✔ interesting online discussion panels and debates,
✔ online meetings with representatives of government, local government, business and science,
✔ virtual walks around the largest companies in Poland,
✔ online intercultural evening with joint gamification,
