Days of Polish Culture in Brno

When I saw the information about the Days of Polish Culture in Brno, my decision to place this post was quite quick. Everything Polish reminds me of my first client at the Brno Expat Centre, who is from Poland. This very nice lady came with lots of different and interesting questions about living in Brno. Those questions were mainly aimed at leisure-time activities in Brno. It was while searching out useful information for her that I discovered that this area of consulting with expats brings me a lot of pleasure. Now everyone interested in Poznan and in Polish culture generally can follow this particular “leisure-time recommendation”. And of course, greetings to Zuza!
When: April 4 – 9, 2011
Where: Kino Art, Sál Břetislava Bakaly, Jiří Mahen Library

At the occasion of 45th anniversary of the Brno – Poznan partnership, many events presenting our partner city of Poznan as well as of the Polish culture in general will take place in the week of April 4 – 9.
