On 7 November 2025, I conducted a prevention workshop entitled ‘We Are a Collage’ at the Nicolaus Copernicus Primary School No. 5 in Wadowice. The classes were held in two groups: grades 4-6 and grade 7.
I was invited by the Polish language teacher Alina Dyrcz. Thank you very much for this invitation.
During the workshop, I talked to the students about emotions and we created collages illustrating our moods. There was joy, curiosity, pride, but also sadness, longing, anger and fear. The results were wonderful and I was very impressed. I enjoyed talking about minimalism, and the students bravely began to create collages with two or three elements. Sometimes less is more. The second half of the class was devoted to working with an old postcard showing the market square in Wadowice in 1908. Here, imagination played the main role. We created the Wadowice of our dreams!
Above you can see a photo of the classroom before the workshop began. And this is a photo after the workshop. I love this view!
Thank you for such a warm welcome and such productive work!
