This week, AAL Programme’s Communication and Public Affairs Manager Mr. Nicola Filizola travelled to Gdansk, Poland to meet the team organising our third European Week of Active and Healthy Ageing. The event will take place in the beautiful city of Gdansk, Poland from 18-20 October 2022.
The city of Gdansk, known as the city of freedom and solidarity after the events that brought Lech Walesa to start the Solidarnosc revolution in 1980 that paved the way to the end of Communist regime in Poland. Today, the city is one of the biggest tourist attraction in its region with beautiful architecture, access to the sea and its old town.
