FRIENDSHIP ART EDUCATION FOUNDATION for Youth 2025

Rock band, directing workshops, film sessions, working together in the garden, or cooking in great company…?

Have you been missing youth activities at our Foundation? Don’t worry, we’re growing with you! In 2025, we’re focusing our energy directly on you—young people aged 13 and above—through Lelenfant Teens and Flying HUB ARTS.

Get ready for new spaces, challenges, and projects that you will co-create!

🚀 We start in March!

LELENFANT TEENS – CREATE, PLAY, DIRECT!

Do you know Lelenfant, but are looking for something more? Do you have talent, ideas, and energy? We’re opening two unique clubs just for you!

🎸 Drowned in Sound! – Form your own music band with a group of friends! 10–12 participants, 24 hours of rehearsals on Saturdays (March-May).

🎭 Get the Theater! – A directing club for young creators (10–12 participants, 24 hours of work), rehearsals on Saturdays (March-May).

But that’s not all! You’ll also take part in the Synergie – Lelenfant Teens youth exchange – an international educational and artistic project with young people from Poland and Georgia. The project will culminate in a live performance on stage in Wrocław!

💡 Do you have leadership ambitions? You’ll have the opportunity to co-create the international edition of Lelenfant, lead workshops for children and teenagers, and learn directing, stage work, and sound design for a performance!

📩 REGISTRATION opens after the winter break!

FLYING HUB ARTS – MOBILE YOUTH CLUB

Are you 13-19 years old and looking for more freedom? Flying HUB ARTS is the place for you! This mobile, intercultural youth club is created by you and for you, together with the Friendship Art Education Foundation.
Curators: Iwona Frydryszak & Ditte Berkeley

🚀 Starting in March, we kick off with mobile activities, and in the future, we’ll build a permanent HUB – a space that you can shape yourself!

📅 March 9 – We begin in the garden at Krzycka 29. You’ll plant ideas, grow dreams, and create your own space of freedom!

🔥 Experiment, create, change the world! 🔥
As the sun warms the earth, we heat up the atmosphere. Just as cooking changes flavors, film changes the way you see the world. This is more than a school – this is your place!
