The City Intergenerational Integration Program has been implemented by the Youth Center named after Dr. H. Jordan since 2021. Various forms of spending free time together for children, youth, adults, families, seniors, and people with disabilities from Krakow are organized within its framework: including trips, picnics, dances, film screenings, outings to galleries and theaters, artistic and dance workshops.

The program aims to connect Krakow residents of different ages during valuable and inspiring activities - integrating, strengthening intergenerational bonds, building relationships, and good, open communication. Through its accessibility and inclusive nature, it also aims to support groups at risk of social or economic isolation.

The father returns from Chinatown with an unusual pet, a mogwai, which is meant to be a gift for his son.

29.XII – 'Broth and Other Passions', directed by Tran Anh Hung / France / 2023 / 135’

Can passion have a taste? Vietnamese-French director Tran Anh Hung ('The Scent of Green Papaya', 'The Scent of Green Papaya') proves that it definitely can! 'Broth and Other Passions' (winner of the directing award at the Cannes Film Festival) immerses you in the world of exquisite French cuisine, but above all, it sensually shows that through dishes, flavors, and aromas, one can express the deepest feelings.

The protagonists of the film set in the second half of the 19th century are the excellent cook Eugénie (Juliette Binoche) and the renowned gourmet, restaurateur Dodin (Benoît Magimel). For 20 years, they have been cooking together, creating recipes, and hosting grand dinners. They mainly communicate through dishes, preparing wonderful broths, sauces, quails, turbot, vegetables from their own garden, and spectacular desserts. The world they create together helps them survive the most difficult moments in life, and their relationship evolves over the years.
