The basis for the debates was a theatrical performance about the project:

On December 6, 2020, the spectacle premiered during the promotional event, which shows the consequences of our decisions. The event was attended by the creators of the calendar - photographers, sponsors, local authorities, media, teachers, students, parents and students from SP4 in Sieradz.

During the meeting, there was a short debate on how young people see their future, what their dreams are, and how they want to make them come true.

On March 10, 2020, guests came to SOSW in Poland.

Class II technical school supervised by Sylwia Dęga from the Secondary School Complex No. 2 Maria Dąbrowska took part in the debate organized as part of the Erasmus + project "The future begins today"

Debates related to the project idea are also planned in each of the partner countries.

The starting point for discussion in SOSW in Sieradz about the impact of our decisions on our future was the presentation "Time Machine" prepared by the Amateur Adult Theater "Massacre".

The show maintained in the convention of movement theater presents 3 situations of the characters. The first is life passion - playing the violin, which is destroyed by parents, telling their daughter to learn the accounting profession. The second: businesswomen, busy with making a career, moves away from his family. The third scene presents a hairdresser who spends the money earned on partying with friends. Each of these heroines has their "older" counterpart from the future. We see, therefore, lost, frustrated old women - one bored, the other lonely, the third without a livelihood. However, they get a chance - they can go back to the past and correct their wrong decisions.

Of course - this is only fiction, but it opens the field for reflection on the consequences of our decisions. Both youth from ZSP No. 2 and actors of "Massacre" willingly presented examples of "irreparable" situations - causing an accident, harming someone (suicide), addiction.

However, as young people admitted - most of our decisions can be corrected for happiness in life, to make mistakes, or - to learn from them. It is important - not to give up, believe that dreams, our goals and intentions will be realized. Be consistent and positive about the world and people, and at the same time sensitive to others - this is the message that ended the debate. Successful, full of reflection and wise thoughts - which all participants admitted.

On 29th February 2020 two delegations from other schools (Liceo and ICT) were invited to share “The Future begins Today” project’s aims. Itt Malafarina staff introduced the purposes of the Erasmus+ project, showed the first part of the movie “The dreams come true” and some photos of mobilities.

During September 2020, two of our teachers visited two nearby schools to present our project and  hold a debate. They watched the film "Dreams Come True" and discussed on the subject. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 situation our pupils were not able to visit the schools too. 

Here are short descriptions of the visits and some photos:
