Teams of 8 projects in the postproduction stage get an opportunity to further develop their projects with the supervision of top European editors, producers, and marketing experts in the frame of the second workshop. Each film represents a team consisting of a director, editor, and producer. These filmmakers already participated in the first workshop and came with more advanced cuts. After checking the latest version with tutors, they work intensely in the editing rooms and prepare their production and marketing strategy. At the end of the week, they will get an opportunity to show their project to the selectors of prestigious festivals, international sales agents, public and private broadcasters, and VOD platforms from the US, Europe, and Asia. The peak of the workshop is individual meetings with decision-makers, where participants receive concrete feedback on their films, which allows them to adjust the films and sharpen their strategies. The outcome are 8 documentary projects with an advanced cut and developed marketing and outreach strategy.

The international conference Women in the Arts: Theatre, Film, Music and Dance will take place on 11–13 November 2026 at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava. The three-day programme will bring together researchers, academics and artists from Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Georgia and Ukraine to examine women's contributions to theatre, film, music and dance in historical and contemporary contexts. The programme includes three keynote lectures by Joanna Krakowska (Poland), Iveta Škripková (Slovakia) and Kata Oltai (Hungary), five thematic sessions with academic presentations and moderated discussions, and an Early Career Research Forum featuring ten poster presentations by emerging researchers affiliated with institutions in Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Romania, the United Kingdom and Greece. The thematic sessions address women's contributions to theatre history, women in film and music, women's perspectives in contemporary theatre, and women in contemporary art. The conference also commemorates the 110th anniversary of the birth and the 60th anniversary of the death of Magda Husáková-Lokvencová (1916–1966), the first Slovak professional female theatre director. The conference is organised through cooperation among all three faculties of the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and international project partners. Its results will contribute to a bilingual peer-reviewed conference publication planned for 2027.

The first online session as part of the training program for public leaders, and the sharing of experiences between the Visegrad Group countries and Ukraine on community development, will take place over 10 days. Classes will be in the second half of the day so that participants do not have to take time off from their main occupation. All classes will be held online to reach participants from different regions (the majority of participants are expected to be from the Rivne and Volyn regions). Invited experts will present the experience of the Visegrad Group countries (in particular, Poland and the Czech Republic). Experts from Ukraine will present data analysis methods for local policy-making, issues of ensuring the financial sustainability of communities, and the implementation of public leadership in community management. Special attention will be paid to the formation and development of the Visegrad Group, as well as the specifics of cooperation within the V4. Participants will be selected based on their application forms. A mandatory requirement will be to determine participants' motivation and their existing experience in implementing public leadership.

The Budapest Improv TOUR is a public theatre performance showcasing the multilingual, language-barrier-free format developed in the LAB. Hosted in a traditional theatre venue (different from Phase 1 and building on to what we have learned in Bratislava and Prague), the show will bring together 8–12 performers and a musician from all four V4 countries and beyond. It will integrate physical storytelling, music, archetype-based narratives, and stories inspired by Central European cultures.

The main phase of the festival. There are going to be around 20 events during the festival in which Visegrad literature will be presented to the audience. The idea of Visegrad common heritage and common points in our literature and culture in general is regularly delivered to the audience via literary readings and the main topic being discussed with the authors and the experts throughout the whole festival. This year.s topic is PARTY AND GUESTS, as we would like to highlight the necessity and importance of the personal meetings and creating space for new cooperations and ideas. ProtimluvFest will celebrate THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY and will therefore try to invite as many of our long-term partners and authors as possible. We will also focus on the topic of contemporary V4 literary magazines and re-open the future cooperation among them via the project REVIEW WITHIN REVIEW.

The Polish group's visit to Hungary is the second stage of the project "In the Footsteps of Józef Bem – a Hero of Poland and Hungary." Participants will deepen their understanding of the Spring of Nations in Hungary and Józef Bem's role in the struggle for independence. A school-wide debate will be held entitled "Freedom and Solidarity of Nations." During literary workshops, they will analyze the work of Sándor Petőfi, emphasizing the importance of poetry in shaping national consciousness and patriotic attitudes. A key element of the program will be a trip to Budapest, where students will visit the Józef Bem monument and sites associated with the events of 1848. Participants will actively participate in the tour, presenting previously prepared presentations. During the visit, the students will continue working on a joint theater performance and prepare its final presentation, which will be presented to all students. The performance will be recorded and published online for a wider audience. There will also be a poetry evening for the local community, featuring interpretations of works by Mickiewicz and Petőfi. The visit will also result in a film about Józef Bem and the Spring of Nations, as well as materials for a joint brochure about Józef Bem.

In the final phase of the project, an international public conference will be held in Hungary with the participation of partners from Slovakia and the Czech Republic, along with Hungarian parent groups, educators, experts, and policymakers related to inclusive education. The event will be open to a wider audience and livestreamed to ensure broad accessibility. The conference will showcase results of the international visits and local workshops, highlight best practices in inclusive education, and provide space for dialogue between families, schools, civil society, and decision-makers. During the conference, partners and parent groups will work together in facilitated sessions to compile the Policy Recommendation Package, based on the findings from international exchanges and 12 local meetings. This document will set out concrete proposals for a needs-based teaching assistant system, parental involvement mechanisms, and inclusive practices that can be adapted across the V4 region. The conference serves as the culmination of knowledge exchange and advocacy capacity-building throughout the project. By providing a high-profile platform, it ensures visibility of the issues faced by families of children with special educational needs and positions their voices at the center of public debate. The creation of the Policy Recommendation Package directly supports the project’s objective of influencing systemic change by providing decision-makers with evidence-based, community-driven proposals.

The final conference will serve as an event where the selected best 3-3 students from each partner HEI will challenge their knowledge, skills and competence during the second semester. They will bring their chosen thematic essays elaborated during the semester mentored by the involved expert from the respective HEI in the project. In the competition they will present their thematic essays in front of a jury and the best will be awarded. The final conference will bring closer researchers and new researches in this field to the wider public and to the primary target group as students overall and ones with special regard to international/regional development/studies in the field of V4. We also count to support travel from Ukraine by train. (The costs will be allocated either from the miscallenous or from METU's other funds).

On the second day Czech students will act as guides and will show the Polish students around Olomouc, which will be devoted to getting to know the most important attractions. Participants will visit a local Tourist Information Center which will provide us with materials needed for creating the final games. On the same day, in the afternoon, they will start preparing tasks for the games in 4. international groups. The third day, the participants will be continuing preparation of city games in ActionBound mobile application. The afternoon of the same day will be dedicated to testing finished games and introducing possible corrections. On the last day, each group will play a game prepared by another team. The QR codes for the games will be made available to the Tourist Information office in Olomouc - there will be an opportunity for tourists and other schools from the Czech Republic to play the games.The partners will share information about the activities on their school’s social media and will also send an email to schools in nearby border towns about the games that have been created (anyone with the free Actionbound app will be able to play them). At the end, students will take part in evaluation sessions and the certificates of participation in the project will be awarded.
