About the event
Re_Mind: three intense days (22-24 June 2026) of multi-threaded debates on psychology, as well as workshops, artistic activities and other activities built around how human knowledge can be useful in all areas of social and economic life.

Purpose of the event
The aim of Re_Mind is to present and organize reliable psychological knowledge, to search for new applications and to show how it responds to contemporary social challenges. The event showcases psychology in all its complexity, in a single time and space, promoting an evidence-based approach to designing and implementing social change. Re_Mind shows psychology as a science and practice, as an interdisciplinary activity whose usefulness can be seen in many applications and which should function within clearly defined ethical boundaries.
By debunking myths and disseminating proven knowledge, the event strengthens social resilience and creates real value for education, business, public and social sectors.
Genesis
Re_Mind was created as a response to the growing mental health crisis and the growing presence of myths and pseudopsychology in public and digital spaces.
Faced with these challenges, it has become crucial to create an event that provides structured, reliable and practical knowledge that really supports people and organizations in making informed decisions. The project responds to the need to integrate different environments, cooperation between institutions, the need to build a dialogue based on facts, data and experience.
Re_Mind Ideas
The name Re_Mind symbolizes transformation, change and rethinking - both on an individual and social level. The idea of the event is based on the belief that psychology is a key tool for understanding the modern world and a real support for the development of well-being, relationships, culture and responsible public policies.
Re_Mind integrates science, art and business, connects public institutions with NGOs and juxtaposes theory with practice, academic knowledge with everyday experience. By combining the convention formula with the festival aspect, the event creates experiences that strengthen community, aesthetics and values, showing that mental health, art and the cultural landscape remain inextricably linked.
Within 14 thematic tracks, Re_Mind will show that psychology provides concrete tools for understanding the modern world and the challenges facing man and society. By inviting eminent researchers and practitioners from Poland and abroad, we will debunk myths and misconceptions and impart proven, evidence-based knowledge.
Re_Mind Digital Creators Council
The Re_Mind Digital Creators Council is an initiative bringing together individuals actively involved in the online space — digital creators, experts, educators, and those committed to building high-quality communication regarding psychology, mental health, and relationships in the online world.
The Council's goal is to create a space for exchanging experiences, knowledge, and perspectives, and to foster responsible and conscious communication in digital media.
Re_Mind is an initiative that promotes reliable, evidence-based psychological knowledge in a modern and accessible format. At the same time, it actively engages in public debate by addressing important social topics and creating a space for open, multi-dimensional discussion.
A key element of the project is combining expert knowledge with the experience of individuals active in digital media, who have a deep understanding of modern communication and audience needs.
