Local Educational Potential on the Example of the Activity of the Synagogue Forum in Ostrów Wielkopolski

Abstract

Summary: The main purpose of this article is to take a look at the cultural institution that is the Synagogue Forum in Ostrów Wielkopolski from the perspective of its educational and animative capabilities in the public sphere. Referring to Antonina Kłoskowska’s concept of the system of culture, I present a program of cultural activities, describing eventsorganized in the Ostrów synagogue. Observation and analysis of individual events will allow me to determine whether the Synagogue Forum has the cultural and social potentialto design and implement educational activities and animate the local community, also with regard to the issues of multiculturalism.
