EduJourney with Disney Polska

08 października 2025

What does Disney’s magical world look like from the inside? What lies behind major productions? Young people from four residential care facilities found out during a special EduJourney to Disney Poland—a hands-on workshop delivered in cooperation with company employees as part of skills-based volunteering.

Discovering Disney

We kicked off an intensive workshop day with an icebreaker bringing together 17 young people and their carers from children’s homes, company volunteers, and members of our Foundation. The participants then explored the story of Walt Disney and his legacy, right through to every stage of preparing and promoting large-scale productions.

Brainstorms and group work helped everyone grasp just how complex film production and distribution can be—along with the competencies required across the many teams involved. In the second half of the workshop, the group learned what it takes to promote the latest theatrical releases.

After a packed learning session, it was time for a screening of Inside Out 2. It offered not only a moment to unwind, but also a fitting conclusion to the educational journey—from theory and practical exercises to the finished product on the big screen.

Education + experience = real change

Participant feedback confirmed the EduJourney’s strong educational and inspirational value. As many as 89% rated the workshop delivery as clear and accessible, 73% were satisfied with taking part, and 72% would recommend the session to others. Post-workshop comments were short and enthusiastic: “It was great,” “Everything was awesome.”

The workshops at Disney showed the young participants that both soft and technical skills can be developed in engaging ways. They gave them inspiration for career choices and the conviction that dreams—even the big ones—are within reach.

🤝 Thank you to the Disney Poland team for the time, energy, and heart you poured into preparing this event for young people.
