There will be a variety of activities throughout the day and a ceilidh in the evening with Polish and Scottish foods to sample. More info in the link above.

The term East/Eastern European slag off Polish people and shows pure ignorance.
Everybody knows that these ******* with a thick accent predominantly came from Poland ( 90 % ), some are from Lithuania and Slovakia, but they still use such names in media and popularise in general.

Who pissed in your zywiec del boy?

Which countries will be represented at the festival?
A total of 13 Eastern European countries will be represented at the festival. These are: Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Hungary, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Estonia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Romania, Ukraine and Russia.
All the countries, apart from the Ukraine, joined the European Union when it expanded in 2004 and 2007. (from the festival website)

Yes, yes... I was thinking the same, but figured that this was a discussion for a different thread. I have met ne of the organisers, and he basically seems quite well meaning (if a little misinformed). Let's see how this one goes.

Yes, there are going to be quite a few Polish themed events and activities at Bletchley Park as part of the "Enigma Recaptured" campaign.

By the way, is anyone aware of Polska! Year? There seems to be lots of noise about it in certain Polish circles, though sadly it doesn't seem to be making it into the more mainstream British media... a shame given that (from what I can gather), the aim of it is to promote Polish cuture in the UK.

Because you are involved "in the industry" (i.e. have Polish cultural connections) or from awareness in the British media? Just curious....

Can't actually remember were or how I first 'heard' about 'Polska Year' but I guess it must have been through 'Polonia'.

Something in the British media:

That's interesting, though I have to say that is probably just a one-off. I don't get the impression that the people behind PY have too much of a clue as to how to market the event to British culture vulchers, even though a lot has been spent on creating the PY "brand".
