EDEN Dancing

Friends and partners in Gdansk long before the conference keenly recommended to invite to the conference dinner "Dedko Band" from Gdansk - an orchester playing cool music for lovers of dance. We did so and the result was frenetic indeed: the tradition of "EDEN Dancing" has been created and must be sustained at future events as well!

Farewell from Gdansk

After the closure of the Conference on Saturday, Eva, Gabor and me had a few hours to look around in the beautiful city of Gdansk. We have seen the stunning castle of Marlbrok, had a look around in the town center and had a great dinner. When finnally we unsuspiciusly headed towards our hotel, we bumped into a pageantry, where actors and dancers were telling the story of god Neptun creating the famous Polish drink, Goldwasser, by turning the founten water into vodka. At the and of the compelling show of the stilted dancers, a spectacular firework started. We were so delighted by the spectacle that we decided to share with you the video we made. We hope, you will enjoy it and this way we can transfer some of the feelings we had during standing on the bridge above the river Motlawa.
