The 21st VSS began a series of editions dedicated to forecasting and designing the future. The main elements of this year’s School were topic of the human rights and workshops on future literacy and lectures on human rights, during which participants learned methods of thinking about the future, saw to what extent their ideas about the future influence their decisions, and deconstructed conscious and unconscious assumptions that influence thinking about the future of human rights. The activities were accompanied by study visits combined with learning about the cultural and historical assets of Malopolska, as well as the traditional intercultural integration.

Activities undertaken as part of the festival focus on the joy of communing with another human being, getting to know what he or she has most wonderful, namely his or her different, sometimes so distant and yet unexpectedly close culture.

The Visegrad Summer School has been an educational project carried out at Villa Decius since 2002. The theme of the 19th edition of the project was primarily business and innovation and cultural heritage in terms of audience development. The organized workshops create a space for innovators, entrepreneurs and cultural managers from different parts of the world to meet and jointly develop new methods of doing business.
