My Duduś

My Duduś is a story of a Polish mother with empty-nest syndrome who finds and raises a baby squirrel as if it were her own.

This guide is an invitation to dialogue. It is based on a belief in the power of connection and designed for people who want to use My Duduś to engage family, friends, classmates, colleagues, and communities. In contrast to initiatives that foster debates in which participants try to convince others that they are right, this document envisions conversations undertaken in a spirit of openness in which people try to understand one another and expand their thinking by sharing experiences and viewpoints and actively listening to one another in a care-forward environment.
