Promethidion in Bedford and a charity supporting migrants

Abstracts

EN

The CEO of a now well-established charity supporting vulnerable migrants in Bedford de-scribes her journey of fascination with a Polish poet, artist and thinker Cyprian Kamil Norwid and how this has shaped the charity. The story goes back to her childhood and how the poem Fatum (Misfortune), which vividly describes misfortune as an opportunity for stopping and creating, has influenced her own development. Today Małgorzata Brady recognises the Fatum mode in the active listening method adopted by the sta of her charity when dealing with vulnerable migrants. Only with enough space, warmth and attention can clients’ difficult situation be eectively dealt with. At Polish British Integration Centre (PBIC) advice, learning and listening activities are interweaved with art in numerous ways: one of them being the Promethidion song and dance group, sta watercolour activities or, more recently, the staff’sinvolvement in theatre. Bedford is where John Bunyan wrote his Pilgrims Progress and it is well attuned with Norwid’s idea of Pielgrzym (Pilgrim) which for vulnerable migrants, who possess little, can oer hope and dignity. At PBIC migrants will receive a warm welcome.
