Made in Poland Festival

“Sensible Woman”Through the Sensible Woman Project we would like to encourage women to stop for a moment and have look at their health condition. We would like to invite a wide group of women for a meeting with doctors who can explain how women can find out if something is going well or badly with their health and what they should do to avoid illnesses. The conference will be in English language and will Polish speaking interpreters will be available.
Part one of the project includes conference with doctors (GP, Gynecologist, and another specialist) who will explain to woman the process of becoming ill. In second part we would like to invite for the concert Anna Maria Jopek – Polish jazz singer who for many years has been promoting preventive scans. We should be egoist about our health – in these words she supports Polish health campaign.
You can also win tickets to Anna Maria Jopek’s concert at The Sage Gateshead!

I have got Diploma of Social Skills and Journalist. As a Journalist I specialise in news stories. For three years, I was a co-originator and writer with 2B North East, a monthly magazine published by the North East Polish Community. I am proud about the fact, that 2B Magazine was permanently placed in the Discovery Museum as a symbol of Polish immigrants in North East. As a Journalist Freelancer I also cooperative with BBC and Polish media. As I was involved in the European Social Fund Programme. In collaboration with The North East Strategic Migration Partnership when the University of Sunderland was leading a two-year research project to test and deliver solutions to the employment and skills issues facing The North East as population trends change.I was invited by ROSA Production Ltd to support Ridley Scott's Project called „Britain in A Day" Together with Healthy Communities Collaborative Facilitator we prepared two projects called ‘Sensible Woman’ and “Sensible Man” in which we were co-operating with the NHS, the SAGE Theatre, and the ‘McMillan’ organisation and also with Newcastle United and local media. The projects helped raise awareness of male and female illness which affects many thousands of men and women around the world. I was responsible for the festival’s Health Campaign, which included a well-attended Women’s Breast Cancer Awareness event with invited guest speaker and health professionals. I delivered feedback on this event in a paper I recently gave at the World Class Commissioning and Migrant Health Conference. I have also been very invoked in helping other Polish people integrate with their local communities in the North East, for this it is important for me to have excellent communication skills. I was also coordinator of Made in Poland Festival. weber.marlena@gmail.com (0044) 7872526175
