The Zofia and Jan Włodek Foundation in Cracow takes care e.g., of the photographic legacy of its patron Prof. Jan Zdzisław Włodek. Its most valuable element is a collections of 240 coloured positives on Autochrome plates manufactured by Lumière and Agfa- -Farbenplatten; it is one of the largest sets of photographs of this type taken by a single author which has been preserved in Poland. In 2020–2021, thanks to the financing from the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, the collection underwent conservation and was digitized, following which it was made available to broad groups of viewers on the www.szukajwarchiwach.pl and www. zbioryspoleczne.pl portals. The unique photo technology used for their production constituted a real challenge in the set’s conservation and digitizing; moreover, attempts were made at an experimental digitizing of the selected autochromes with the use of directed bright-field. In order to promote the knowledge of the set, its author, and the works he conducted, videos and exhibitions were prepared, The whole project was quite challenging to a relatively small NGO. The key to its success was the cooperation of experts who proved to be flexible and creative in their approach to this particular task and peculiar conditions in which the project was implemented.
Fundacja im. Zofii i Jana Włodków w Krakowie opiekuje się m.in. spuścizną fotograficzną swego patrona – prof. Jana Zdzisława Włodka. Najcenniejszym jej elementem jest zbiór 249 pozytywów barwnych na płytach Autochrome firmy Lumière i Agfa-Farbenplatten, jeden z największych zespołów zdjęć tego typu wykonanych przez jednego autora, jaki zachował się w Polsce. W latach 2020–2021 dzięki dofinansowaniu ze środków Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego kolekcja została poddana konserwacji i zdigitalizowana, a następnie udostępniona szerokiej rzeszy odbiorców na portalach www.szukajwarchiwach.pl oraz www.zbioryspoleczne.pl. Unikalna technika zdjęć stanowiła wyzwanie w procesie konserwacji i digitalizacji zespołu, podjęte zostały także próby eksperymentalnej cyfryzacji wybranych autochromów z wykorzystaniem światła skierowanego. W celu popularyzacji wiedzy o zespole, jego twórcy oraz przeprowadzonych pracach zrealizowano filmy i zorganizowano wystawy. Całość przedsięwzięcia stanowiła spore wyzwanie dla stosunkowo niewielkiej instytucji pozarządowej. Kluczem do sukcesu było pozyskanie do współpracy specjalistów, którzy wykazali elastyczne i kreatywne podejście do tego szczególnego zadania oraz specyficznych warunków, w jakich przyszło je realizować.
Interpersonal relations are an integral part of living in society. Interpersonal competences combine activities related to communication, making new friends, solving problems or cooperating with others. Therefore, they are extremely important at every educational stage. However, building proper relations among education participants becomes more difficult when schools around the world switch to distance learning due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic. Relations between teachers and students, as well as among classmates, often undergoes various modifications, frequently deteriorating the quality of mutual contact. Distance education has also changed the role of pupils’ parents. The new situation often required from them to adapt to their child’s schedule in order to support them and help them in learning. This particularly applies to the families with younger children. In order to explain these issues, this article will present the results of research conducted among teachers and parents of pupils from grades 1–3 on the relationship at a pupil–pupil and a student–teacher level. The didactic and educational activities of teachers that are undertaken by them in order to improve contact on both these levels in the face of the new reality will also be discussed. The article will also address the topic of transformations of the abovementioned relations, which took place during and after the transition to compulsory distance learning.
