"The Academy of Champions" is an educational project whose aim is to popularize the national heritage of Pomerania, including valuable objects found in museum resources and city/village space, among people with visual and hearing impairments. Together with a guide of Gdańsk and the surrounding area, a passionate about the history of the region - Ryszard Kopittke, and an experienced film maker - Robert Suszko, we created three film materials entitled "Portrait", "Ceramics" and "Sculpture".

The film materials have been translated by PJM and have subtitles. Each film is accompanied by a workshop scenario, which constitutes the basis for carrying out an educational activity inspired by the film. 

Script for the movie Ceramics - Textures (in Polish)
Script for the film Portrait - Collage (in Polish)
Script for the film Sculpture - Mobile (in Polish)

We also provided audio descriptions of works of art included in the films. The playlist is available at this link: www.soundcloud.com/akademia_mistrzow. Here they are:

Self-portrait of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz;
Figure of Saint Olaf, Joahann Gottlieb Fadembrecht and Johann Pieron;
Marabou by Alfons Łosowski;
Musician Alfred Lubocki;
Portrait of Stanisław Sołtan John the Baptist Lampi;
The Castaways by Czesław Podleśny;

We hope that the materials provided will be useful to educators and recipients, encouraging them to explore various works of art and creative expression.

Partners: Culture Without Barriers Foundation and Educational Center No. 2 for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in Wejherowo.

The project was co-financed by the Minister of Culture, National Heritage and Sport from the Culture Promotion Fund - a state earmarked fund.
