Film Guide
It is a serie of free publications for teachers, published by Wajda Film Centre and developed by Anna Równy.
The guides offer numerous methodological tips for conducting lessons in primary and secondary schools. They provide ready-made inspirations for teachers of Polish language, ethics, social studies, and homeroom classes, among others.
We encourage you to explore the educational and methodological opportunities provided by short films, which not only serve an educational purpose but also help shape and deepen students’ socio-emotional competencies.
