The European Week in Saint Andre-lez-Lille

As a part of the European Week celebrations (15th-21st May 2008) in the partner town of Wieliczka - Saint-Andre-lez-Lille - a performance by the Song and Dance Ensemble "Raciborsko" took place. The young dancers from "Raciborsk", celebrating this year 15th anniversary of the ensemble, performed three dance suites:from Cracow, Rzeszów and Łowicz. Among the delegation representing our municipality there were the councillors:Tadeusz Luraniec and Ireneusz Rozwadowski.


The main gala took place in the local concert hall, where "Raciborsko" performed in front of the numerously amassed public, which heavily applauded their performance.

The culture and tradition of Poland was also presented during the concerts in the local primary schools, where the public enjoyed the most the Cracow Suite with the Lajkonik as the main character.

The contacts with Wieliczka as well as performances by the cultural ensembles are especially eagerly awaited by the local Polonia, united in the Saint-Andre - Wieliczka society managed by Mr.Władysław Bachorz, numbering some 420 members.
