From April 13 to April 22, 2021, the Euro-Institut in Kehl organized a series of workshops within the "TEIN4citizens" project on thematic areas such as: language and multilingualism, culture, mobility, environment. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they were held online.

One of them, on the issue of culture in border regions, was led by representatives of the Association for Development and Regional Cooperation "Olza" and the EuroSchola Institute from Třinec. During the webinar, Marek Olszewski and Hynek Böhm introduced the participants to selected cultural initiatives that regularly take place on the Polish-Czech border in the Těšín Silesia Euroregion. Among them were the Cinema on the Border Film Festival, the Three Brothers Day and the Air Museum Těšín.

Insights were also shared on the impact of the current situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on the cultural sector.
