Host City – the city of Gdańsk
Gdańsk – the city of freedom, changes its face from day to day. It was recently the centre of events that changed the course of European history. August 1980, the strike at the Gdańsk Shipyard led by Lech Wałęsa and the creation of Solidarity, a great social movement, captured the imagination of millions of people. It was these events that gave a huge boost to freedom movements around the world and allowed them to believe that the impossible is possible.
Contemporary Gdańsk is a modern, European metropolis, a knowledge-based economy, a dynamically developing centre of culture, science, entertainment and sports, an attractive tourist destination and the world capital of amber.
