The Academy of Social and Media Culture (AKSiM) in Toruń is another institution with which the Museum has recently established cooperation. One of the terms of the agreement is the organisation of competitions for students of the Toruń-based academy. The forthcoming competition will concern the preparation of short films about the German concentration camp for Polish children in Łódź.
On 31 March 2023, the Director of the Museum of Polish Children – Victims of Totalitarianism and the Rector of the Academy of Social and Media Culture in Toruń signed a cooperation agreement. Under the agreement, the institutions will undertake joint cultural, scientific and educational activities aimed at spreading knowledge about the tragic fate of children imprisoned in the German concentration camp at Przemysłowa Street in Łódź.
“In addition to promoting knowledge of the tragedy of Polish children who were victims of totalitarian regimes, we also want to use the educational base of students at the Academy of Social and Media Culture in Toruń. To this end, we plan to organise a competition of short films about the camp. There will be attractive prizes for the winners of the competition," said Dr. Ireneusz Piotr Maj, Director of the Museum.
The text of the agreement also states that the parties will work together in the long term to "preserve and disseminate national traditions, popularise historical knowledge and promote Christian values among the younger generation".
In connection with the signed agreement, the Museum's exhibition entitled "We were taught to cry without tears..." will be on display at the University for several weeks.
