Toruń Partner Cities Photography project – Toruń through the Twin lens
This event took place in Toruń between 30th June and 6th July 2008. Swindon together with all of Toruń's other partner cities, were invited to send a delegate.
For the same event last year (in 2007) two professional photographers from Swindon represented Swindon in the event.
This year a young (19 year old) lady, Sabina Paprocka from Swindon, took part in the project. Sabina was delighted with her experience and as a result intends to pursue her interest in photography further. Her photographs at the exhibition are shown on the left.
"Światowe Igrzyska Polonijne" (the Polish Olympics)
Next year (in 2009) at the end of July/beginning of August Toruń is due to host the sporting event open to any person of Polish descent residing outside of Poland, known as the "Światowe Igrzyska Polonijne" (the Polish Olympics).
It is hoped that Swindon will send a football team to take part in the football tournament as well as other athletes/participants, in addition to numerous supporters!
