The 3rd World Gdańsk Reunion

Gdańsk is a multicultural melting pot, a world-famous city, with its heritage developed over the centuries by representatives of many ethnic groups who settled in this hospitable and tolerant town. Some of them came to stay here, some would only stay for a while to return to their mother countries in later generations. Those, however, who left Gdańsk kept its memory in their hearts and handed it down from generation to generation. The World Gdańsk Reunion is dedicated to those, who may be scattered round the world, but their hearts are still tied to Gdańsk. They will meet in the streets of Gdańsk for the third time from 21 to 23 May 2010.

The World Gdańsk Reunion serves to maintain ourtraditionsasan open city renowned for its hospitality. Just as in the olden days, Gdańsk will open its gates to all those who want to identify with this place either through their descent or simply just because they love the town. It is our intention for the meeting of the large, though scattered, Gdańsk family to strengthen our ties and our Gdańsk identity.

The programme of the Gdańsk Reunion includes many cultural events, usually open to the public, which will take place both in the city streets and in the interiors of its historical buildings. We will hold: exhibitions, previews, theatre and multimedia spectacles, conferences, competitions dedicated to Gdańsk, concerts, theatre productions and literary meetings. Come and see the many faces of Gdańsk!
