Last Road Planning Workshop
The workshop is an invitation to reflect on how to plan your own passing with your loved ones and yourself in mind. During the meeting we will reflect on the boundary between planning your death and funeral and letting go. We will consider different approaches in three stages:
Thesis - What would your ideal goodbye scenario look like?
Antithesis - Should controlling your life end with your last breath?
Synthesis - How do you find the balance between responsibility and freedom, between planning and acceptance?
The Last Road Planning Workshop is a space to think about how much control we need over death in order to approach life with greater peace of mind.
11:00 - 13:00
Workshop on employee well-being
The workshop is aimed at funeral professionals and funeral service providers. The aim of the meeting is to identify strategies for dealing with stereotypes and emotional strain at work and to jointly develop constructive ways of releasing and working through emotions. Participants will leave the workshop with a set of ideas for individual and group activities to take better care of themselves and regularly look after their own mental and physical well-being and, in the long term, to counteract professional burnout.
Proxima Parada is a foundation based in Gdańsk, founded in 2023 by Aleksandra Kminikowska, Łukasz Jaroń and Konrad Królikowski – experienced artists and cultural managers. Its aim is to initiate and implement valuable artistic and educational projects that address the topics of death, mourning and the end of life in an open, empathetic and socially responsible manner.
The foundation works at the interface of culture, art and social reflection, organising workshops, meetings, film screenings and performance events. It supports the creation of spaces to talk about difficult, often overlooked, yet universal and deeply human issues.
Proxima Parada also distributes contemporary documentaries and produces videos for cultural institutions and community organisations.
