There will be new guides on Women’s Trails around Gdansk Shipyard – people from the Ukrainian and Russian-speaking communities living in Pomerania.
Project Metropolitanka – welcome / ласкаво просимо / добро пожаловать is a free training, preparing for the role of guides. Among meetings’ topics: the industrial heritage of the Gdansk Shipyard; the heritage of Solidarity, eliminating cultural differences, guide classes, and then walks in Ukrainian and Russian language. The series of meetings starts on July 28th, and City Culture Institute invites you to open walks in Ukrainian and Russian in the fall.
The first training sessions and open lectures will start on July 28th. Lectures, walks and workshops will be conducted by: Dr. Jacek Koltan, Anna Miler, Anna Perz, Anna Zielinska-Fedoruk, Urszula Sciubel, Magdalena Stormowska, Andrzej Trzeciak.
The issues that will be touched during the meetings include: the cultural and industrial heritage of the Gdansk Shipyard, the idea of Solidarity, Anna Walentynowicz – the legend of Solidarity, Women in Polish shipyards after World War II, employees of the Gdansk Shipyard, strike activists, guide methodology, Russian language sensitive, equality approach and women’s history. It also includes meetings with a retired employee of the shipyard and people currently employed in the shipbuilding industry. To complete the course and become a guide in the project, you must take part in all forms of workshops, lectures and talks.
Four lectures on the project will be video recorded and available later online in Ukrainian and Russian on the City Culture Institute’s YouTube channel. Live meetings are held at the City Culture Institute at ul. Dlugi Targ 39/40 and outside – in the post-shipyard areas (start: at the Historical Gate No. 2, Solidarnosci Square).
After several weeks of preparation, the new guides will lead Walks on Women’s Trails in the Gdansk Shipyard in Ukrainian and Russian, targeted at new residents of Gdansk. There are admissions for classes and walks as part of the project and the need to comply with the applicable sanitary regime.
Project partners: Immigrants Support Center, Union of Ukrainians in Poland – near Gdansk, European Solidarity Center.
