This year’s motto “Let’s meet offline’ is an invitation to a divorce from screens and enter into real relationships.
Especially for secondary school pupils, the Bielsko-Biała Cultural Centre has put together a programme combining the very best of everything:
a solid dose of knowledge and inspiration,
energy and live music – which bring people together better than any algorithm!
Together with us, OFFLINE were:
– the dancers from the Stereo Dance School in Bielsko-Biała,
– Patrycja Wonatowska, a psychologist and sexual educator of the Sexed.PL Foundation with a lecture on: “My body is not my content. About intimacy, consensus and playing in the net”,
– Paweł Liszka, who played his own piano arrangement of an Eminem track,
– Alien x Majtis with a concert for VIPs, namely the students of Bielsko-Biała secondary schools who were the most important on that day.
In the afternoon there was given a special lecture for the parents and carers about “Child intimacy in the net – how to support it, where the internet enters the domain of the body and limits thereto”.
It was a frank and much-needed discussion about:
what sexting and breaches of privacy amongst young people really are,
how to talk to your child sensibly – without scaring them or being overbearing,
what warning signs should alarm you and how to respond in crisis situations,
and how to build your child’s trust and sense of security.
