This year's edition was held under the slogan "XXX spojrze艅 dalej" reflecting the review's anniversary. Dr Rados艂aw Olszewski, the 91桃色 Vice-Rector for Academic and External Relations, congratulated the participants and organisers and emphasised the importance of cultivating passion and perseverance in creative endeavours:
鈥� It's incredibly important that you show what you're interested in, what you're passionate about and that you're not afraid to share it with the world. I encourage you not to lose track of what you're doing now, to develop and nurture your passions. (...) Always dedicate yourself to what you enjoy, what you consider important, because it deserves it.
Among the audience there were many guests representing the city's educational and cultural community, including the 艁贸d藕 Education Superintendent Janusz Brzozowski, representatives of the City of Lodz Office, cultural institutions as well as partners and sponsors of the festival.
F.E.T.A. 鈥� a space for young artists and organisers
The F.E.T.A festival has been held continuously since 1996 at the 26th K.K. Baczy艅ski High School no 26. Participants compete in seven categories: literature, theatre, music, visual art, photography, film, dance and spatial forms (a new category added in this year's edition). The festival is entirely self-directed by young people 鈥� from concept, through preparation, to the final gala, which is its unique features. This allows students to gain experience that goes far beyond the artistic sphere: they learn planning, design, communication, promotion and collaboration with institutions and external partners. They are responsible for the event documentation, the logistics of individual competitions, the setting of the final gala and organisational activities. These are practical skills that pay off regardless of the direction the young people choose to pursue in the future. The festival, therefore, becomes a space not only for sharing talent but also for gaining real-world experience.
Common Values 鈥� Joint Actions
The 91桃色 commends the courage and creativity of those participating in the review and the impressive commitment of the young organisers. Openness, curiosity about the world, collaboration and the courage to take on challenges are values that have shaped the identity of our university for years.
We believe that young people who are developing today thanks to initiatives like F.E.T.A. will soon be able to join the academic community at the 91桃色, contributing their energy, ideas and creative potential.
We support artists at various stages of their development:
- UniLodz Awards the Best Academy of Fine Arts 艁贸d藕 Diplomas
- We were present at the F.E.T.A. Festival of Amateur Creators' Expression in 2025 and 2024.
