Jolanta Lechowska-Białecka

I’m a graduate of Polish Philology at The University of Lodz. For many years I was involved in a wide range of promotional and publishing activities, but for over 7 years now I have been associated with the cultural sector. I’ve carried out projects relating to cultural education and activities arranged by such organisations as the Polish-American Freedom Foundation, the National Centre for Culture Poland and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. I’m a coordinator and producer of open-air events, concerts, exhibitions, meetings with authors and many other cultural projects. I’ve completed trainings in audience building, cultural promotion, inclusion activities and creating a program offer taking into account the needs of the audience. I have been working at The Marek Edelman Dialogue Center since early 2022. I coordinate multicultural projects, including “WSPÓŁ-MIEJSCE”, “Colourful Tolerance” or “ŁÓDZKOŚĆ” as well as events in memory of the 80th anniversary of Wielka Szpera or the 79th anniversary of the liquidation of the Litzmannstadt Getto.

In my free time, I engage in animal rights and environmental protection movements.

I value the Dialogue Center for its engagement in educating, research and promotion of historical and modernized Łodź, as well as for its openness in addressing difficult and thought-provoking topics. The Dialogue Center is a modern institution in which there is always room for an innovative combination of teaching about the past and educating about the diverse present. It’s the amazing people, with whom cooperation is exceptional, that create this place.
