A note on these links

This archive summarises each article in its own words and does not reproduce copyrighted text. Headlines are kept in their original language and are not translated.

2 of these articles can no longer be read at its original address. faktykaliskie.pl, which published local coverage of the project, has since been re-registered as a classified-ads site — its old article URLs still respond, but serve unrelated content. Those entries link to the Internet Archive instead.

1 recorded here without a working link of any kind: no copy survives online. The record of their existence is kept deliberately, because an archive that only lists what it still has misrepresents what there was.

A Eurodesk Polska feature reported from inside the Kalisz workshops, following participants through a Saturday session at the UAM faculty building and recording how the project came together — Aleksandra Kubiak pressing for an international partnership, João Matos running the Portuguese group in parallel. The text describes the hackathon in Porto as still days away, so it was written some months before its August publication date.
