Warsaw, the capital of Poland, after the Second World War,
managed to rise from the ruins. The Old Town was
literally razed after the heroic Warsaw Uprising.
Today, however, reconstructed from images of an
eighteenth century painter, Bernardo Bellotto, the city
returned to its glory days. Although suffered from the
communist regime, today it is an important cultural,
scientific and historical and educational centre in Central
Europe. Small, charming streets of the old town, invite
you to walk. Old, quiet churches allow for a moment of
silence and meditation.
Come and visit this strange city of contrasts.
Poland is a hospitable and safe country.
Program: We want to discuss new developments, share clinical experience, present case studies, learn from
one another and build bridges working for reconciliation.
Translation: The main conference language will be English/Polish. If you need translation to any other
languages, please arrange with your own national or language group.
Travel grant: There is a possibility of a travel grant to eligible applicants. Please inquire from IHACA Tresurer,
Mel Hoskyn at [email protected]
Celebration: Please prepare some national fun (song or dance) and bring with you a small taste of
characteristic national food.
