This year, 122 institutions from across Poland will participate. Featured speakers include popular comedian Szymon Majewski, actress and illustrator Matylda Damięcka (known online as TheGirlWhoFellOnEarth), outdoor photographer and filmmaker Aleksandra Wierzbowska - founder of the Untold Stories creative studio - as well as media legend Wojciech Mann and his son Marcin.
