How can art, science and civic engagement work together to inspire meaningful social change? This question will be the focus of a special round-table discussion entitled ‘Art, Science, and Social Change: From Knowledge to Action’, organised as part of the MEN4DEM project.

This panel discussion will bring together artists, researchers, and civil-society practitioners to explore how creative practice and academic inquiry can move beyond knowledge production into meaningful social action. The event will open with an artistic intervention by Dagmar Slagmolen, creating space for a conversation that moves between performance, scholarship, and activism.

The roundtable will include the following speakers:

Dagmar Slagmolen - Via Berlin Music Theatre & Arts-Based Research, MEN4DEM
Agata Gregorkiewicz - Academic Cultural Centre “Alternator”, University of Gdańsk
Jacek Staniszewski - Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk, Social Propaganda Lab
Karolina Andrian - Share the Care Foundation, MEN4DEM
