On March 23, the “Magical Neural Networks” workshop for children, organized by the “Center for Social Dialogue” Foundation, took place at the Baobab space in Lublin.
The event gathered young creators aged 7 to 14, who learned to create neural artworks using modern technologies. The workshop’s unique feature was that children mastered the use of the MidJourney neural network and the basics of prompt engineering, enabling them to produce illustrations that will later be animated for films dedicated to Belarusian historical figures.
Children of various ages participated in the workshop, and each demonstrated a high level of creativity. One of the highlights was observing the work of the youngest participant, a 7-year-old girl. Her drawing of an ermine particularly inspired the other children. Other participants created illustrations of wolves and falcons — animals linked to the legends of Usiaslau "the Wizard" Charadziej, the famous prince of Polack.
These creations will serve as the foundation for animations to be used in a new film about Usiaslau "the Wizard" Charadziej. The young artists will also become part of the creative team, as their names will appear in the credits of the upcoming animated film.
The event was held in a remarkably friendly and inspiring atmosphere. Children enthusiastically explored new technologies, while parents had the opportunity to observe the process and support their young creators. At the conclusion of the workshop, all participants received invitations to the summer premiere of the animated films, where they will see their illustrations come to life on the big screen.
Such events provide a unique opportunity to foster children’s creativity and promote the study of Belarusian history through art.
