1. INTRODUCTION
Dear Sirs and Madams, Dear Participants of The World Games 2017 Wrocław!
It is my great pleasure to introduce to you the second issue of “The World Games 2017
Bulletin”. Following the good practice from the first edition, Wrocław Organizing Committee
will present the current status of the preparations to the Games and forthcoming tasks and
processes.
Please, let me remind the news from the end of the year of 2014 about new of dates for The
World Games 2017. The 10th edition of this event will take place from 20 – 30 July 2017.
These new dates would prevent a scheduling conflict with other major events and underlined
the evident advantage of getting better media coverage when staging The World Games 2017
at the end of July. After intense discussion and consultation with IWGA’s media and marketing
partners, the new date for the event was jointly chosen by WOC and IWGA.
I am proud to inform you that the last six months were a busy and fruitful period for the WOC.
First of all, the Municipality of Wrocław was established a wider cooperation with national
and regional government on the 10th edition of The World Games, by signing the appropriate
Agreements with Ministry of Sport and Tourism and with the Lower Silesian Voivodeship.
Another fundamental agreement was signed with the Polish Olympic Committee. The aim of
all listed agreements is to combine organizational success with the long term value provided
by creation of the optimal conditions for the popularization and development of physical
activity among citizens.
Another important achievement, especially for the IWGA Member Federations, is a
presentation of the Daily Sports Schedule, which was announced officially by IWGA in the end
of November 2014 during the 1st Competition Managers Meeting in Wrocław. In this very
place, I would like to express my gratitude to all International Federations which sent their
Competition Managers to the CMM. I am sure that both Wrocław Organizing Committee and
member Federations gained a lot from this meeting, putting us all two steps ahead in our
partnership.
Finally last, but not least, it is my pleasure to congratulate Birmingham (Alabama, USA)
local authorities and the bidding Team for winning the right to host The World Games in 2021!
I wish all of you the very best in the year 2015. Let it be challenging, exciting and obviously very sporty!
On behalf of Wroclaw Organizing Committee
- Piotr Przygoński, President

f.
Volunteer Services
The beginning of the volunteer service in Wrocław dates back to 1997, and is strongly
associated with two events that arouse extreme emotions. The first one was the flood in July
1997, , which brought great damage to the entire city, while the second one was the 46th
World Eucharistic Congress. It was the Eucharistic Congress that laid the groundwork for
voluntary service in our city.
Between May and June 1997, over 1300 volunteers were involved in the organizational
activities. Moreover, in May 2003, volunteers assisted the Weimar Triangle Summit, which was
hosted in Wrocław at that time. The growing interest in this type of volunteering, as well as the
possibility of participation in numerous spectacular events, enabled the launch of the
Volunteers for Wrocław project. As a rapidly developing city of many cultures, with a strong
academic environment and dozens of people different age involved, the capital of Lower
Silesia managed to create an institutionalized structure. Starting from 2005, Wrocław’s
voluntary service is growing rapidly. For the last nine years the assistance of volunteers has
been proven invaluable during big events such as the already mentioned European Summit of
Regions and Cities in 2005, Futurallia (2006), Beijing 2008 Olympic Qualification Tournament in
Men’s Handball, the Visit of Dalai Lama XIV, EuroBasket (2009), Acrobatic Gymnastics World
Championships (2010), Wrocław Global Forum (2010-2014), Host Cities’ Volunteers for UEFA
EURO 2012™, Polish Masters Football Tournament (2012), the III Polish Oncology Congress
(2012), the 25th Anniversary Conference of the Academia Europaea (2013), the Innovation
Festival 2013 and the Central and Eastern Europe Christians Meeting (2014). Each event
attracted dozens of volunteers who, together with the organizers of the projects, contributed
to the full success of those events. What’s more, in 2016, when Wrocław will be the European
Capital of Culture, it is planned to involve the astonishing number of 3500 volunteers, who will
be a significant part of the entire project. Wealth of experience in the organization of
9
volunteer services in Wroclaw guarantees the highest quality of this important operational
aspect during TWG 2017.
The concept of Volunteer Services during the Games will be known until the end of 4th
quarter of 2015.
g. First Aid and Medical Emergency
14 hospitals, 74 specialized medical clinics and emergency service provide medical care in
Wrocław every day. During The World Games 2017 in Wrocław, medical service will be secure
in all venues of competition and to all participants and spectators. The specific concept of The
World Games 2017 medical care service will be prepared in the second quarter of 2015 and
will include: dedicated hospitals (participants, VIP), medical care in venues for spectators,
medical services on venues for athletes (in accordance with the sports regulations).
Insurance for Competitors
At the latest by 31 December 2016, the Host City shall publish any medical and public liability
insurance requirements for competitors and their equipment, as well as conditions and prices
for additional insurance coverage available for purchase on arrival in the Host City.
Medical concept in detail will be known until the end of 2nd quarter of 2015.
Please look at Appendix nr 4 to see where the hospitals are located in Wrocław.
h. VISAS
Since December 21, 2007, Poland is part of the Schengen Area, a zone without controls on
internal borders which comprises of 28 countries. Third-country nationals may enter Poland if
they are in possession of a valid travel document and a visa (if required). Council Regulation

with WOC is going to be continually updated.
Games Services Department plans to elaborate Transportation Concept (until the end of 4rd
quarter of 2015) and Catering Concept (until the end of 1st quarter of 2016).

4. TRANSPORTATION VENUES - REVIEWS
a. Wrocław Main Railway Station
Wrocław’s main railway station has never looked better. Completed in 1857, this grandiose
Neo-Gothic building, with its decadent exterior of turrets and crenellations, has been given a
fresh blaze of bright orange-yellow paint – and while not necessarily the colour we would have
chosen, it certainly makes an impression. During 2010-2012, due to UEFA EURO 2012™
Tournament, general renovation and reconstruction works were carried out making the Main
Railway Station in Wroclaw the most representative building of this kind in Poland. Looking like
a grandiose palace from its early days, the station finally has the surrounding grounds to
match, with a green public square replete with dozens of benches and two fountains that
replaced a car park and a gas station that formerly stood in front of the entrance. Additionally
there’s a covered bicycle parking and a new underground parking complex nearby. As for
getting into city, you are basically in it! The Market Square (Rynek) is within 15 minutes of
walking. There is also a transport interchange next to the station (trams and buses stops).
Getting to Rynek takes 5 minutes by tram.
11
b. Wrocław Airport
On the 13th of December, Wrocław Airport was celebrating a special milestone. For the first
time in its history Wrocław Airport welcomed the 2-million-passenger served within one year!
The Wrocław Airport is situated in south-west part of Wrocław, about 10 km away from the
city centre, near Wrocław motorway bypass, which makes the airport easily accessible for
passengers driving from Warsaw along the S8 road, from Poznań, along the national road no.
5, as well as for those driving to the airport from the south, using the national road no. 8, and
for the passengers driving along the A4 motorway.
Since 2003 the airport has recorded a rapid increase in passenger traffic. Within 5 years, the
number of passengers increased five times. The airport provides its services to network
carriers which offer flights to the major hubs in Europe, low-cost carriers, like Ryanair and Wizz
Air, which have their operational bases at the Wrocław Airport, and also charter airlines hired
by tour operators as a part of a package deal, which includes accommodation, rentals, and
other activities for an entire holiday. On 11th of March 2012 a new passenger terminal was
opened. Its capacity is almost 4 million passengers a year and in the future it will reach as
much as 7 million. This will be the main hub for Wrocław.
12
5. MEDIA AFFAIRS
a. Media Centre
To provide most suitable space and conditions for the journalists and other media
representatives, we are analyzing two sites for the Main Media Center – Wrocław City Stadium
and the National Forum of Music. Besides the Main Media Center, Organizing Committee is
planning to arrange the sub media centers on a number of the sports’ venues. These draft
conceptions’ aim is to make the media communication fast and efficient.
Wrocław City Stadium already served as the Host Broadcaster and Media Center during the
UEFA Euro 2012 European Football Championship. The Stadium is well prepared both from the
technical point of view and the availability of the space required for media.
National Forum of Music, although never used for this purpose (as it is still under
construction), has many advantages too – located in the very heart of the city, with modern
technical infrastructure and much space to take the advantage of, just next to the preliminarily
planned World Games Plaza (fan zone).
WOC plans to present the final site of Media Centre in the next edition of bulletin.
Moreover there will be media facilities at facilities at each venue or in the reach of respective
venue to ensure high-standard coverage.
13
b. Host Broadcaster and TV Production
The public procurement procedure for choosing the Host Broadcaster is in progress. We are
willing to select reliable, capable and qualitative Broadcaster for the Games in Wrocław and to
deliver high standard media coverage. WOC representatives held an insight dialogue with the
Polish and international broadcasting entities. In the meantime, the in-depth analysis of all
sports venues was prepared, as a necessary part of estimating resources needed for a TV
production.
We expect to complete the selection process in the third quarter of year 2015 and present the
chosen HB in the Bulletin no. 3. Moreover, issues related to standard production and rights will
be also introduced in the next release.
14
6. CULTURAL AFFAIRS
a. World Games Plaza
The World Games 2017, same as the previous editions of the Games, will not be made of
sports competitions only. Although sport is what gathers people around TWG, a very
important site on the Wrocław’s map of the Games will be the World Games Plaza. The WG
Plaza is the central meeting point for citizens, visitors and participants to socialize and take in
the games’ atmosphere in a spirit of international solidarity and cultural exchange. The place
where one does not need to compete, because everyone is winning the first prize – positive,
friendly attitude and lot of fun. The preliminary plans are to locate the Plaza in the very center
of Wroclaw, on the Solidarity Square. This exceptional place not only gives the chance to be in
the heart of Wroclaw, surrounded by cafes, restaurants, clubs and the historical part of the city
(including Quarter of Four Denominations, Main Square, museums), but also is accessible from
all parts of Wrocław, so that nobody may be excluded from enjoying it.
Wroclaw Organizing Committee invites you to visit The World Games Plaza, as the 10th edition
of TWG will not be only “The best Games ever”, but also “The best Fun ever ”!

On-line maps of Wroclaw Spatial Information System
One of the key information about the city is information about space, spatial objects and
spatial relations that occur between them. The collection, analysis and distribution of this type
of information is the task of Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The aim of Wroclaw Spatial
Information System, that was being created for several years, is acquiring, processing and
presenting data concerning the spatial information and accompanying descriptive information
about the objects of our city. That is how an enormous amount of so far scattered data could
be collected in one place and presented in a way that significantly simplifies any analysis. SIS is
constantly being supplemented and updated, becoming the basis for planning all activities
related to the management of the city, and on the other hand-providing interested parties
with complete and multidimensional data about urban space. Interactive map is a very useful
tool for communication in cooperation, instant information about traffic and venue situation.
Most important features are possibility drawing / moderating and customization of maps for
one’s own purposes. Service is provided in English and German.
Access to map will be granted for every Federation and Partner.

4,800 t of steel was used, and 100,000 m3 of earth had to be removed. At the peak of
construction works, during one shift there were about 700 workers who worked in a 3-shift
system. In the whole Africarium water system, i.e. exhibition pools, filters, sludge tanks and
kilometers of pipelines, there will be 15,000,000 liters of water (15,000 m3), which equals the
volume of six Olympic-size swimming pools. The mass of sheer water alone in the Africarium is
15,000 tones, which equals the mass of 100 whales or 3,000 adult elephants. Exchange, i.e.
filtering, of water in each of the pools takes about one hour. To "salt" The Red Sea basin and
produce sea water, about 140 tones of salt is needed.
Africarium is located in Wrocław’s ZOO, next to Centennial Hall.
See you ZOOn! 
