Good Morning Friends. I have a lovely gentleman in our Dementia Unit from Poland and he is an artist. I would love to do some Polish Culture with him. Does anyone have any ideas or experience in this area. I will ask his daughter who is very helpful too. Thanks again. Love the website.

Hi Sally

You could do some Polish paper cutting with him. There are some amazing images etc that are created through Polish papercutting and it doesn't require any specialised materials.

We also have a library that has Polish resources in it that you could access too library.mac.org.au
