Agenda of the Festival
The Re_Mind Festival expands and develops the formula of the Congress. Exhibitions, walks, discussions, meetings with artists, workshops, presentations using new technologies, immersion in sound and other artistic events will complement and enrich the program, creating a space of inspiration for both congress participants and residents of Wrocław. The second, equally important part of the festival is social and educational activities organized in cooperation with Wrocław universities.
The aim of the festival is to embed scientific knowledge based on research in a real and vivid context of everyday life. We will talk about art and art design in its dedicated spaces and direct contact with works and creators, and about the environment, health and therapeutic possibilities of design looking at the city and surrounded by greenery. We will think about relationships by experiencing places and listening to people. By exploring the picturesque surroundings of the Centennial Hall and getting to know interesting parts of Wroclaw, we will expand the boundaries of the world we know and understand.
Re_Mind is a space for the exchange of reflections between people from different backgrounds, but also a laboratory of experiences that we will take home with us. That's why we decided to move Congress out of the auditorium and lecture halls. What will be heard at the Congress will be experienced as part of the Festival. Through these experiences, we will create together a collection of vivid and lasting memories, emotional traces of the Congress and the Re_Mind Festival.
Activities within the festival
Re_Mind Festival is a three-day social, educational and artistic initiative implemented by SWPS University in cooperation with all public universities in Wrocław: Karol Lipinski Academy of Music, Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts, Polish Olympians Academy of Physical Education, Pontifical Faculty of Theology, the Wrocław University of Technology, the University of Economics, the Medical University of Silesia, the University of Opole, the University of Life Sciences and the University of Wrocław.
A collection of exhibitions and ephemeral events centered around the Centennial Hall. Guests of the congress and the audience of the festival will be able to see an artistic installation in the historic interior of the Church of St. John of Nepomuk, experience fleeting phenomena that will happen in the shade of the pergola surrounding the fountain and Szczytnicki Park in one central evening of the festival and visit the exhibition in the huge hall of Space-Time. The highlight of this part of the program is the evening preceding the shortest Midsummer Night of the year, and its main theme is the observation and experience of phenomena from the borderline of dawn and imagination, sensuality, a state of suspension and a dreamy poetic atmosphere. The three-day exhibition and installation will also touch on a broadly defined theme of sleep, expressed through various media.

Tajne Komplety
A two-day program dedicated to reflection on the role of public spaces in shaping the psychophysical well-being of people and other species. A well-designed environment really improves the quality of life. The aesthetics and harmony of the urban fabric are the foundation of a friendly place to live, offering conditions for regeneration, rest and building neighborly relations. The health-promoting environment, understood in this way, is a space created and maintained for the comfort of residents. It strengthens the resilience of the community and prepares it to face environmental, social and health crises effectively.
People who are looking for answers on how conscious planning and design can actively promote health, instead of just preventing disease, we invite you to lectures, debates and walks led by designers and artists, activists and activists working in this area.

Transition from consultation to co-creation
Council members are not merely polled for their opinions. They have the real status of co-creators, which means that their decisions shape the final program, the selection of topics and the form of activities within the Youth Town.

Thanks to the fact that the activities are decided by the peers of the future participants, the initiatives accompanying the Re_Mind festival avoid artificiality and accurately diagnose contemporary psychological and social challenges of young people.
Adequacy and Representation
The Council serves as a platform through which young people can contribute the demands of their backgrounds directly to the academic and expert world. It is they who decide what problems are currently prioritized and need to be publicized.
Responsibility for the project

The Youth Council of the event “City of Young People”, operating at Re_Mind, is a unique body that pushes the boundaries of social engagement. Its existence is based on the fundamental principle: “nothing about the young without the young.”
