News from the life of the university

Already on 7 December 2024, the College of Vocational Training in Wrocław invites all students to an extraordinary event. Our guest will be Slawomir Sikora, a well-known investigative journalist, social activist and prototype of the character Stefan from the cult film Dług directed by Krzysztof Krauze. It is a story that moved the whole country in the 1990s and sparked heated social debate. To this day prompts reflection on moral dilemmas, the limits of the law and human endurance.

Who is Slawomir Sikora?

Slawomir Sikora is a man with an extraordinary story that has shaken Poland. He was originally destined to become a successful entrepreneur, but a series of dramatic events changed his life. In the 1990s, he became a victim of extortion, threats and violence from an acquaintance from his past who turned out to be an abuser. The tragic finale of these events led him to prison, where he spent more than a decade and had to face a new reality. 

In 2005, thanks to an intensive public campaign, he was pardoned by President Aleksander Kwasniewski. Thirty-eight thousand people, including prominent cultural and political figures, have signed a petition in his favour. Today Slawomir Sikora tells his story, focusing on difficult topicssuch as rehabilitation, social exclusion or human rights.

What can be expected at the meeting?

During the meeting, our guest will answer key questions about his story. You will find out:

• What led an ambitious young man to make radical decisions?
• What is prison life like from the inside?
• How can you rebuild your life after conviction and pardon?

On 6 July 2024, at 10:00 a.m., a Women's Workshop entitled 'Building Relationships and Mutual Support' was held at the St. Brother Albert's Shelter for Homeless Women in Wrocław. The workshop was conducted by a group of students from the Higher School of Vocational Training in Wrocław under the supervision of psychologist Bartosz Głowacki and psychologist Dr Beata Rajba.

The meeting was attended by a group of women looking to forge new relationships, exchange experiences and draw strength from others.

The atmosphere at the meeting was warm and friendly. The participants were eager to share their stories and support each other.

The workshop began with a brief introduction and introduction of the group. The participants then took part in board games, which provided an excuse to talk and reflect on important topics. Each woman was able to express herself and felt comfortable doing so.

The meeting concluded with a summary and an invitation to the next meeting, which will take place in September.

The participants were very satisfied with the workshop. In their feedback, they emphasised that the workshop was a valuable experience that helped them to build relationships and cope with everyday problems.

The workshop organisers would like to thank all participants for their participation and invite them to future meetings.
