PUBLIC OUTREACH

Public events

16.03.2024 Public event summarizing results of the project: “Psychology of/for activism”, Krakow, Poland.

At the end of the project we organized an event, which was devoted to presenting the results of the project to a non-academic audience. It took place at the Institute of Psychology of the Jagiellonian University (ul. Ingardena 6, Kraków). The event consisted of two sessions.

  • Part 1: What motivates activism and what hinders engagement? (10:00 – 11:20)
  • Part 2: What political activities do people want to engage in? (11:40 – 13:00)

The presentations covered results obtained in various lines of research in the project  including issues such as e.g., How do activists experience conflicts between their private and professional lives and activism? How does the perception of the chances of success impact activist commitment? What political actions do people want to engage in? What role do emotions play in activism? The event was described by one of the participants here.
