What places attract us to Grunwaldzki Square, and which ones do we avoid? Where does everyday neighborhood life flourish, and where could more be happening? What will we see in Grunwaldzki Square's courtyards and squares during the day, and what lurks in its alleys after dark?
We invite you to two walks around the estate, during which we will discuss the cultural, social, and everyday life of Grunwaldzki Square. This is an opportunity to rediscover the estate together – in daylight and after dark. Both events will be led by Basia Celebucka.

We'll take advantage of the changing seasons during our walks! The first walk will take place in daylight – we'll discover meeting places, daily routes, and points that shape the neighborhood's social life. We invite you to the second walk after dark – we'll see how the street rhythm and atmosphere are changing, peer into the illuminated windows of service establishments, and discuss what activities are available tonight and which ones we're still dreaming of. These events are for anyone who wants to see their neighborhood differently and share experiences of spending their free time at Grunwaldzki Square. No prior knowledge or preparation is necessary – just curiosity and a willingness to chat.
