Nearby. Non-fiction festival in Barlinek

A non-fiction festival in Barlinek? Is it possible? Is it really happening?
If you think you can only meet acclaimed writers in Warsaw and other big cities, we are about to lead you out of your mistake.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
The non-fiction festival in Barlinek will be full of meetings with reportage writers, historians and regionalists. During them, we will be discussing topics important for a better understanding of the modern world, such as the climate catastrophe, the role of animals in the world or education in a time when change is a constant in our lives. There will also be topics closely related to our region, the identity of the residents whose ancestors were settlers in our lands known over the years as "reclaimed" (is it right? we'll talk about that too) and Barlinek itself.
So we invite you to meetings with authors, writing workshops, fireside chats and walks in the area. It promises to be an extremely inspiring weekend.
Guests of the festival will be: Dariusz Gzyra, Boguś Janiszewski, Szymon Opryszek, Bartosz Panek, Zbigniew Rokita, Justyna Suchecka
As well as Elżbieta Chudzik, Zdzisław Linkowski, Andrzej Mrowiński, Grzegorz Przybylski, Stanisław Rewers, Adam Sokołowski.
Organizers: the activities are carried out under the project "Open, welcome" with the Barlinek Cultural Center, the Public Library of the City of Barlinek and Partners (Association Plantation of Imagination MDK, Association Włóczykijki, Foundation Friends of Four Paws)
