They said I had a head for languages and I should go in that direction I went on an anxious journey to my first class invited me into the hall with a smile and presented me with a dialect text from Sychta's dictionary Is he some character from some ‘Żëcé...’ or something I looked for help in the Dean's Office (I think) I met a certain lady there who calmed me down suggested that I should wait a while longer and experience shows that I really can) ‘THANK YOU’ and give her the biggest hug I worked as a Kashubian language teacher at ‘Fregata’ Girls School in Gdańsk I coordinated the work of the Kashubian Song and Dance Ensemble ‘Sierakowice’ I also worked at the Head Office of the Kashubian-Pomeranian Association we are preparing the programme ‘Kaszëbsczi dlô dozdrzeniałëch’ I led the Kashubian language classes during the Summer School of Kashubian Language I translated a children's book into Kashubian entitled ‘ABC Ekònomii The monthly magazine ‘Pomerania’ published lesson scenarios of which I was the author a series called ‘To dało gromadã smiéchù’ based on anecdotes from Father B Sychta's dictionary and games for children I also prepared subtitles for the programme ‘Farwë Kaszëb’ I do translations of various texts into Kashubian My activities are mainly focused on the Kashubian language dance workshops in schools and other institutions for children I was a technical student at a completely different university I struggled with my thoughts for a long time but I knew that this was not what I wanted to do I spontaneously took my papers from the university not knowing what I would study next or if I would study at all I started browsing through the majors of many universities and one name caught my eye - Kashubian Ethnophilology I enrolled in ethno because I come from a family where Kashubian was always spoken I got accepted and now I am a graduate of this faculty Thanks to many hours of practical training in Kashubian language didactics and professional approach of lecturers I met many wonderful people who made me curious about exploring Kashubia I was studying ethnology at the University of Gdańsk and had other plans for the future studying non-European cultures and warmer climate That was until my master's studies when I went on a field research trip and the problem of transcribing an interview arose.. The only feedback I got was that this word comes from the Kashubian language and this is the only way parts of fishing equipment were called by this respondent all the time telling myself that Kashubian is not what I was looking for The wedding is coming and most of my husband's family often speaks Kashubian in casual conversation from the context of the statement you can guess what the meaning is It was the right impulse to throw myself into the abyss of Kashubian and learn to speak Kashubian I started working in a primary school in Wejherowo Later I moved a bit closer and worked as a Kashubian language teacher at the Christian Montessori School in Gdańsk Thanks to this course of studies I realized that it is possible to perfectly combine passion (which I did not know) with professional work more precisely from Kutno in Łódzkie Voivodeship I got into ethno by accident or maybe it was my destiny I wanted to go on a completely different course but having found out about the deadlines for submitting documents I went to ethno in order to wait for one semester becoming more fascinated with Kashubian with each passing day I immediately found a job at a primary school as a teacher of the Kashubian language But my heart was stolen by Maria Montessori pedagogy as well as a teacher of grades 4-6 in Sopot Montessori School Every day I try to fill the space of our school community with Kashubian language and Kashubian culture and history cooperate with various shops and promote their products I also managed to publish a few poems in Stegna I am still writing and who knows what I will manage to do with it in the future tel. portiernia:+ 48 58 523 30 00 Danuta Stenka was born in 1961 in Sierakowice and is one of the country's best-known theatre and film actresses she could be seen on stage at Teatr Dramatyczny in Warsaw where she stayed for a decade before taking various roles at TR Warszawa She regularly worked with the director and founder of the Nowy Teatr Warsaw and became a member of the ensemble at the National Theatre in Warsaw in 2003 where she appeared in productions by directors Robert Wilson She has appeared in numerous films and TV series and has been considered the Bridget Jones of Poland following the film adaptation of the bestseller Niemals im Leben Danuta Stenka became known internationally through her role of George Sand in Jerzy Antczak's drama Chopin – Desire for Love for which she was awarded the Polish Film Prize for Best Actress in a Leading Role she received the same Best Supporting Actress Award for Andrzej Wajda's war drama Katyń which was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Film Danuta Stenka was introduced to German-speaking theatre audiences at the Vienna Festival in 2016 through her role in Yana Ross' production of Franz Xaver Kroetz's Request Concert She will tour throughout Europe with this production which can also be seen at the Schauspielhaus Zurich Aby czytać nasze artykuły wyłącz AdBlocka/uBlocka lub dodaj wyjątek dla naszej domeny dodanie wyjątku nie wyłączy blokowania reklam Nieznany błąd - nie można wyświetlić strony
