DYWERS / HANDOUTS

At work, I help people who are experiencing various types of crises – mainly homelessness. Streetworking is extremely necessary, but still it’s not developed enough / NATALIA
I like it here in Poland. People seem very liberal and open-minded / ALI
As an atheist, I believe in the power of a diverse, pluralistic society. Drawing on diversity creates a chance to go beyond the Anthropocene / MARCIN
During teaching classes and business training, I always try to refer to the issue of managing diversity in an organisation, where intergenerational agreements constitute one of the biggest challenges today. When the Alpha generation joins the BB, X, Y and Z generations, it becomes necessary to develop new ways of communicating that enable synergistic cooperation between representatives of different generations / IZA
OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) can close seemingly prosaic activities into a forced, vicious circle of disenchanting reality / MAJA
Asking about the pronouns used means that you want to get to know the other person and see their multi-layered identity / KAI & WEST
Queerness is the ability to stay outside of expectations. It is perceiving the complexity of the world and being open to what we experience and desire / JOANNA
A nervous breakdown is not the end – it is behind seven synapses that the story begins / KACPER
The apparent similarity and insensitivity of the environment to the perspective of others increases my sense of alienation / YARYNA
The neighbours knew about our situation – about our mother's alcohol abuse and her everyday camouflage. As a society, we are still too indifferent to what is happening around us / BARTOSZ
"R" or "M"? I am a civilised pirate who fights against the fear of aliens / DAWID
I see slower, although at first glance it is unnoticeable / KRZYSZTOF
Veganism goes beyond a diet and not using products of animal origin or tested on animals – it is a philosophy and a way of life that minimises the use of non-human beings and gives them due respect. Only such a change of perspective makes it possible for us to see what some of our everyday habits are / ŁUCJA
Human bodies come in all shapes, sizes and proportions and are full of marks. My spine was straightened by 70 degrees / MAŁGORZATA
It's not that a paralysed body doesn't feel anything. A paralysed body cannot be forgotten. Bad legs won't tell me whether the day is cold or warm, but at the same time they constantly give me pain that resembles burning and electric shock / DAWID
When I stand naked on stage, I feel protected; off stage, in places where the sight of a naked body is considered normal, not so much anymore / EDMUND
My world is not divided into male and female things. Being non-binary is a matter of looking at reality, not necessarily related to physicality. A non-binary person may appear stereotypically masculine or feminine / BERNARD
After years of working on stuttering, I have managed to achieve fluency. Do I think of myself as someone who the experience of stuttering is not related to? / KRYSTYNA
ADHD is sometimes (true to its name) associated with a "deficit" of attention, and other times (paradoxically) with its "excess." Hyperfocus makes the world around irrelevant / WERONIKA
For me, sport was support, a common activity beyond divisions, a space devoid of racism / FILIP
