🌍✨ PUNO at the CAPHE Conference
Communities and Artistic Participation in Hybrid Environments
At the CAPHE Conference, a three-member team from PUNO (the Polish University Abroad in London) presented the university’s contribution to the Communities and Artistic Participation in Hybrid Environments (CAPHE) project.
The presentation, entitled “PUNO & the CAPHE Project: A Summary of Educational Research, Artistic Practice, Publications and Pedagogical Innovation,” was delivered by:
🔹 Dr Dorota Hrycak-Krzyżanowska
🔹 Dr Agnieszka Szajner
🔹 Leszek Kulaszewicz
The presentation showcased the broad scope of PUNO’s activities within the CAPHE project, including digital storytelling, videopoetry, haiku, hybrid games, virtual reality, media literacy, digital safety, teacher training workshops, and academic publications.
Dr Dorota Hrycak-Krzyżanowska discussed digital storytelling in heritage language education, work with Kenyan and Polish legends, Greek mythology, AI-supported learning, the game Ariadne’s Thread, educational activities based on Sławomir Mrożek’s play Tango, and the hybrid urban game Walking on Water: Secrets of London’s Hidden Rivers.
Dr Agnieszka Szajner presented projects focused on videopoetry, multimodal expression, sensory pedagogy, and embodied learning.
Leszek Kulaszewicz explored media literacy, digital safety, online identity protection, misinformation, and VR competencies.
The team emphasized that, for PUNO, hybrid environments are not merely technological spaces. They are spaces of voice, memory, creativity, perception, wellbeing, intercultural dialogue, and active participation.
The CAPHE project has demonstrated that storytelling, art, literature, games, VR, and AI can support language education, foster creativity, strengthen connections with cultural heritage, and open new opportunities for both teachers and learners.
👏 Congratulations to the PUNO team for their contribution to the development of hybrid education and innovative pedagogical practices within the CAPHE project.
