Poland – 14th edition of the Festival of Youth Without Borders
Różanystok, Poland – May 2023 - The 14th edition of the Festival of Youth Without Borders, organised by the Saint Stanislaus Kostka Province, Warsaw, Poland (PLE) and the Saint John Bosco Salesian Educational Centre in Różanystok has just ended. The festival took place from 29 to 31 May and its organisation was also supported by local authorities. The Różanystok festival has been organised for many years and has gained popularity not only within the country but also abroad. This year's Youth Without Borders Festival attracted around 300 participants, for three days of workshops, shows, performances and concerts. It is an innovative artistic effort, bringing together representatives from different cultural backgrounds. As usual, the audience had a lot of fun. The event brought together young people from different cities and countries under one common motto – “Without Borders” – so that they could, through art and play, share happiness and joy, get to know each other better, integrate and learn from each other. It was possible to attend several workshops every day, during the Festival at the end of which the participants showed what they had learned. Artists from Poland and other countries, including Chile, Brazil and the Czech Republic, were invited to the festival. Each artist was also involved as a leader of workshops for young people. Their task was not only to introduce themselves, but also to pass on their skills in different areas: singing, musical instruments, aerial acrobatics, performing arts, circus arts, theatre, beatboxing, breakdancing and capoeira, so as to promote the development of the participants and help them discover their skills and interests.
