Let's talk!

We must still talk. Only then, we will not waste four years of fight for ECoC.

Such a conclusion can be drawn after finishing on Wednesday, October 20 debate, which took place in Torun CoCA. Participants tried to answer the question of whether the release of the efforts of the event is the end or rather just the beginning of a new phase in the history of Torun culture? Debate, "ECOC 2016: Start and finish?" was organized by the team of Respublica Nova magazine. The atmosphere of the debate was extremely hot. The result is, however, one very clear request - we must discuss. It is necessary for a future of cultural Toruń.

The closest chance will be on Monday, 25.10.2010. NGO organisation TŁOK organizes a meeting under the name "Citizen Cafe". Among the guests will be President Michał Zaleski. The meeting will held on 25.10.2010 at 17 pm at the Center for Contemporary Art.
