#ACTIVITY
Hug a teddy bear
War-Saw – the city of trauma, drama and grey monuments reminding of many terrible events of Polish history. Wouldn’t it be nice to have a reason to smile every day because U’d see something uplifting just walking the streets? That was the thought of Iza Rutkowska from the Foundation of Forms and Figures. The result of that need is a project titled “A toy to cuddle”. A huge soft teddy bear is gonna travel around the city this week and U can interact with it however U wish. U just have to find it! Follow it on FB of the foundation.
