external relations. It was approved by the European Council at
its meeting on the 19th–20th of March 2009. The EaP is
addressed to Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova
and Ukraine and designed to facilitate the achievement of
one of the key goals of Polish foreign policy, the
approximation and integration of East European countries
with the European Union.

was officially initiated on the 6th of December 2005 and ever
since many events with the participation of our Byelorussian
neighbours, have been organized. On the 5th of November
2009 the delegation of Byelorussian investors and
entrepreneurs took part in the Economic Roundtable, which
was discussing the possibilities for the Polish investors in
Byelorussia. Every year there is some Polish–Byelorussian
cultural event and the groups of Byelorussian students visit
our region regularly. Recently the governor of Mohylew Circuit
Viktar Nekrashevich, his adviser Roman Brodov and Viktar
Stsiapanau participated in the conference “Regions for
Economic Change”, organized by the European Commission
on the 20th and the 21st of May. They also visited the
Regional Representation of Kujawsko-Pomorskie in Brussels.
The guests were interested in the European regional policy in
the times of crisis and the way the regional representations
are functioning. The next project of our region, in which we
would like to involve the Byelorussian guest is the 5th
anniversary of the Regional Representation in Brussels in
October 2010, when maestro Oikawa will be playing with the
Byelorussian pianist.

opened with the film “Persecution” – the latest work of
Patrice Chéreau, the winner of Caesar’s Award and prizes in

form, devoid of beginning and end, like a photo album, tells
the story of a mysterious, unrequited love, taking place in the
urban area of Paris.

Art studio of stained
glass. An interview with
Władysław & Wojciech Kozioł
What fascinated you in the form of stained glass from
the Middle Ages, a technique on the border of art and
metaphysics? Does this kind of art works in modern
world and finds its audience — yet it seems that we
live in an era in which spirituality and religion no longer
play such a role, as it was in the past…
The development of architecture and construction, both
sacred and secular, continues to cause rapid development of
all types of glazing. What most captivates us in the stained
glass is the mystery of light, its vagueness, creating mystery
in space of ancient cathedrals. Such light also creates an
unique, metaphysical atmosphere in modern, abstract
compositions. Therefore, stained glass, as an art form, is still

fascinating, still in, regardless of trends, directions and
various artistic ways.
What kinds of stained glass are created in your studio?
In our studio, located in a historic building in Toruń, are
created hundreds of figurative and abstract stained glasses.
We also deal with easel painting and ceramics. Our works are
being presented in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia,
Lithuania, Russia, Germany, Canada, and the United States.
Your art studio plays the role of art saloon in Toruń.
What kind of guests are visiting you?
Our studio is a meeting place of intellectual and artistic elite.
We welcome artists, professors, clergy, actors, musicians,
lawyers, journalists, ambassadors… As in the saying of a
prominent American art historian, George Riabov: “studio is a
distinguished panel meeting of minds and original artists”.
What characterizes special glass that was patented by
Mr. Władysław Kozioł?
Almost all my life I devoted to the art of stained glass and
painting. So I was able to discover new technologies and the
formulation of glass and its “bubbling”. The structure of this
glass cleaves light and fills the interior with soft, diffused light.
What is the fusing method used by Mr. Wojciech? What
grasp you in it?
Fasing technique reveals for creator new, unlimited ways of
composing images, and is an innovative way to use the
structure of glass, gives a special artistic effect. It provides a
clean composition, unlimited lead contours, characterized by a
certain, undefined, colorful glow, impossible to obtain in
stained glass made in traditional way.
What are the development plans for the studio?
Our biggest and most ambitious aim is to create art glass
factory in Toruń, which project was developed jointly with the
Academy of Mining and Metallurgy in Cracow and the
reactivation of art gallery. We also work on technology in the
production of red glass, with unique artistic values, particularly
sought after by artists–stained glass makers.
The knights
tournament in
Poland? Why not?
The Middle Age castle in Golub-Dobrzyń, constructed in
the 13th century by Teutonic Knights and later rebuilt by its
owners in the Renaissance fashion, is famous for its charm
and beauty not only in Poland but in the whole of Europe.
In 1977 the first knights tournament was organized here by
castle governor Zygmunt Kwiatkowski and soon it became a
well-known event, attracting every year many tourists. Horse
teams from Poland and from abroad enter the competition
list. At the historical courtyard struggle the warriors on foot.

The annual tournament evoked the interests in Middle Ages
and initiated the birth of the organization of people interested

in the history of the Polish knighthood. They meet every year
during the tournament.
This year, between 9th and 11th of July we celebrate the
600th anniversary of the Grunwald battle, when Poland
and Lithuania triumphed over the Teutonic Knights. GolubDobrzyń castle prepared an interesting program to
commemorate this event. This year tournament, in which will
compete knights from the International Jousting League, will
begin with staging the scenes from the famous battle
between the Polish-Lithuanian alliance and the
Teutonic Knights.

The Tuchola Forest
The Tuchola Forest

Nature, activity, good company and great entertainment
constitute a proven recipe for a successful tour. The Tuchola
Forest Province creates great conditions for many sports
and active tourism. Its main natural health are rivers. They
create diverse water routes, large ponds, picturesque valleys
and green corridors where you can actively spend time.
Brda and Wda have excellent conditions for canoe lovers.
The proximity of wild nature, picturesque bays and slopes and
thick forests attract lovers of active rest with nature from
Poland and abroad. Tourist will find there many camping
places and several water ports where you can stop, set up a

The most famous is the section of Brda called “Small Hell”.
The Tuchola Forest
It owns its name to many obstacles and stones being
significant challenge even to experienced canoe lovers. Wda
is much calmer. Therefore it is more suitable for family
canoeing.
For water lovers and sailors who adore unforeseeable water
bodies, islands and bays, the great place will be Zalew
Koronowski near Bydgoszcz.
The vast Tuchola Forest and landscape parks create perfect
conditions for going on several-day biking trips. Many green
areas are conducive to Nordic Walking and riding. Riding is
offered in many agro tourist farms.
