Włodawa

The young people took part in the workshop of the works of authors associated with Lublin. However, we are talking about songs that are not widely known. The subject of the exhibition are texts dedicated to children and youth.

– Many authors and authors who directed their work to young readers come from our city. The works of Franciszka Arnsztajnowa, Józef Czechowicz, Janina Porazińska, Anna Kamieńska and Julia Hartwig make up a large and varied collection of texts created by writers from Lublin over the last century, say the creators of the exhibition.

Lublin youth undertook i.a. preparation of individual elements of the exhibition, but will also conduct curatorial tours. Finally – and most importantly – the young people will present their own works at the exhibition, in which they have entered into a creative dialogue with the literary works of the most outstanding artists associated with our city.

The exhibition will also allow you to look at the work of Lublin authors from the perspective of time and assess its topicality. Young people, in turn, will answer how they perceive these texts today, how they read and interpret them.

Exhibition editors: Magdalena Janik, Damian Szandecki, Kinga Wyskiel.

The exhibition will be open until June 1.

Friday’s match in Prague started disastrously for Poles. The fans did not have time to sit down in the stands or in front of the TV sets for good, and our rivals were already leading 1:0. After a throw-in, Ladislav Krejci jumped up the highest in our penalty area and opened the scoring with a header. Two minutes later, the Czechs scored the second goal. This time, after a good action on the wing, which ended with a cross in the “sixteen”, Tomas Cvancara directed the ball to Wojciech Szczęsny’s goal. However, this was not the end of the problems of the White-and-Reds, because in the eighth minute Matty Cash left the field with an injury and Robert Gumny took his place.

The Czechs, leading by two goals, did not intend to give up the field of play and still had the opportunity for another goal. On the other hand, the Poles in the first 45 minutes were unable to create a single dangerous action in the offensive and went to the locker room in minor moods.

During the break, coach Santos made two changes – Krystian Bielik and Michał Karbownik left the pitch, and Michał Skóraś and Karol Świderski appeared in their place. However, the castlings did not change anything. The Poles still couldn’t create any specific situation, and our rivals scored again in the 64th minute. This time, a good pass from the left wing was finished by Jan Kuchta with a shot from the closest distance. In the 87th minute, after accidentally shooting the ball into the penalty area, Damian Szymański behaved consciously and scored an honorable goal against our national team. The goal of the Kraśnik-born footballer was, however, a typical “tear-wiping” hit.

– This is the beginning of qualifying and it can’t get any worse. We have to look each other in the eye, be honest in the middle of the team and now that’s the most important thing not to lie to reality. It was a very bad match in our performance, but it can be better and we have to look at it – Jan Bednarek admitted after the final whistle on TVP Sport.

Polish players will not have much time to dwell on Friday’s defeat, but also to train to improve their game. On Monday, at the PGE National Stadium, the Biało-Czerwoni will play against Albania and will want to rehabilitate their fans for their hopeless game in Prague. – We now have another very important game on Monday and we have to do everything to win it – added the Poland national team stopper.

In recent years, travel from Puławy to Janowiec has been not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous. The reason for such “conditions” of driving was the quality of the surface and defects on the district road.

A breakthrough came last year, when the poviat obtained PLN 15 million in subsidies from “Polskie Ład”, which allowed to start a comprehensive renovation of the approx.

This year, the tender for the reconstruction of its own section of the road from Janowiec, i.e. a more than 2-kilometre section from Góra Puławska to Sadłowice, was announced by the Provincial Roads Authority.

According to the project, the contractor must replace the asphalt road surface and improve the existing culverts. Two companies from Kraśnik are fighting for the contract. The consortium of PBI Infrastruktura and PBI WMB offered less than PLN 2.1 million, while their competitors from Wod-Bud – PLN 2.9 million.

The favorite is therefore PBI, which was also responsible for the renovation of the aforementioned poviat road. ZDW allocated PLN 2.4 million for the entire task.

If everything goes according to the plan of the road authorities, the section to Sadłowice as part of DW 743 should be ready in a few months. Drivers will wait a little longer for the renovation of the last part of the route to Janowiec, i.e. Janowiecka Street in Góra Puławska. This should be completed by the end of 2025.

A resident of Biała Podlaska documented everything in pictures. – The problem concerns Ceglana, Grabarska, Łowiecka, Iglasta, Barwinkowa, Sokulska, Jastrzębia, Jaskółcza, Kalinowa and Jarzębinowa streets – lists Wojciech Babicz. These are dirt roads, but in his opinion the streets paved with asphalt are not in the best condition either. “They already have significant losses, and the manholes are collapsed. This is not only inconvenient, but also dangerous, he notes. Therefore, on behalf of the residents, he addressed a petition to officials. – We count on urgent action to repair these roads, so that we can normally get to work, because it happens that some streets are impassable – a resident complains.

Let us remind you that recently the city announced a tender for the construction of Jastrzębia Street in this housing estate. The investment is estimated at PLN 2 million, half of which is co-financing from the Government Road Development Fund.

A few years ago, Mayor Michał Litwiniuk (PO) appointed a team for the construction of roads and pavements, which includes, among others, councillors. Every year he prepares an investment plan. – There are about 39 kilometers of dirt roads in the city, and as part of our plan, we have already paved over 5 km, and that’s 10 streets. Further constructions will be carried out in the winter – announces Maciej Buczyński, Deputy Mayor. – When the surface is frozen or wet, dirt roads cannot be levelled. Work on them is carried out from spring to autumn – emphasizes Buczyński. In his opinion, in the photos of Mr. Wojciech, “stagnant water is visible, precluding any repair work.” – Even in the last days of last week, the snowfall in Biała Podlaska was quite intense. This year, the date of commencement of works, agreed with the contractor, is March 17. We are starting them from Ceglana Street – promises Buczyński.

– We were connected by a common passion for foreign trips and exchanges – says Katarzyna from Lublin. – In the third year of high school, I went to Italy for a year. I was staying with an Italian family. I went to an Italian school. There I met Michał, who just now called me and proposed joining the project. Of course I agreed, and so did the other members of the group.

It consists of Kasia, Michał, Stanisław, Patrycja, Adam, Wojtek, Marysia, Wiktoria, Paulina and Kornel. They come from Lublin, Warsaw, Krakow, Poznań and Białystok.

– What we have in common is that we took part in intercultural programs, including e.g. four annual exchanges in the USA, Italy and Norway. We thought it was a great opportunity. That is why we have set ourselves the goal of making young people aware of the opportunities for development that are associated with international exchanges and how important it is nowadays to cross cultural borders in order to create a united global community – says Katarzyna.

Hence the meetings, workshops, presentations at schools and the publication of reports from the exchanges and interviews with their participants in social media. So far, we have managed to organize meetings for over 500 people and reach thousands of recipients through the media.

– Exchanger cooperates with the international organization AFS, as well as the American Councils (FLEX program), which took the honorary patronage over the project. This is the first such initiative in Poland created by young people with their peers in mind – says the young Lubliner and reports that young people going to the programs can choose their duration (three months, half a year, a year) and whether they can then go to their home countries schools pass exams to pass the year or just take a day off. – I chose the second scenario and I do not regret it. It was a great opportunity to become independent and gain important experiences.

And what conditions must be met to participate in such an exchange? – Each country has its own requirements, so you have to check it. In most cases, however, the requirements are not excessive. In my case, I went to Italy not knowing the language at all. All I could say was “My name is Kasia and I don’t speak Italian.”

password last year “help” could be associated mainly with numerous charity campaigns aimed at citizens of the attacked Ukraine. However, it is also worth remembering about the thousands of families living beyond our eastern border, who maintain the Polish language and cultural identity. Every year, the “Past-Future” association in Puławy takes care of a nice gesture towards them, coordinating the collection of gifts for our compatriots from the east.

– Last year, because of the war, this help was not large. That is why I am even more pleased that the interest in our fundraiser is already very high. So far, 45 entities, including many schools, have confirmed their participation in the preparation of gifts. Let me remind you that we collect money not only in the Puławy district, but also in Ryki, Opole, Lubartów, as well as in Kraśnik and Parczew – says Artur Kwapiński, president of the association.

What do you need? The parcels will receive mainly food with a long shelf life, such as pasta, groats, rice, tinned food, coffee, tea, cocoa, powdered milk or sweets. We also need books with Polish literature (also for children) and cuddly toys. In Puławy, gifts to the seat of the association at Czartoryski 8 will be available until the end of March. Next month, all items will be sorted and put into parcels.

– In May, we will take them all to Ukraine with a convoy of buses. Each package will go to a separate family. For these people, our compatriots, not only the support itself is important, but above all contact and conversation with volunteers from Poland. They really appreciate that someone remembers them – explains Artur Kwapiński.

This year, due to the policy pursued by Alexander Lukashenko, the parcels will not go to Poles living in Belarus. The organizers of the action are afraid of potential reprisals that could affect the beneficiaries.
