With Dominika Kulczyk taking on responsibility for Malta Festival, she has brought a distinctly female perspective to its direction. The program has been expanded with a series of debates, workshops, and discussion panels inspired by the expertise shared daily through Kulczyk Foundation initiatives such as “Menopause Without Taboo,” “Career Cycle,” and “Balance.”
As part of the 35th edition of Malta Festival, we are proud to collaborate with Poznań-based organizations including the Julia Woykowska Foundation, Local Girls Movement, the Pogłosy Choir, and Da Vinci High School. Together, we have crafted a program of workshops, debates, and initiatives that empower women in the realms of awareness, the body, and being.
On June 22, the Festival Club will become a space for dialogue and exchange of ideas through three discussion panels: the first focusing on feminine archetypes and their symbolic and psychological dimensions; the second on the role of midwives in supporting women during the perimenopausal period in Poland; and the third, a discussion on achieving balance between patriarchy and matriarchy, preceded by the presentation of the first Polish study on andropause.
