But, the last time the\u00a0World Games\u00a0took place in 2017, both countries managed to take home at least 20 medals! And where did those World Games took place? That's right, in\u00a0Wroc\u0142aw!Before the Belgian athletes took off for Poland, we invited them to the Polish Institute to get acquainted with Poland and Wroc\u0142aw by participating in workshops.For this video, we visited\u00a0Rudy LAHOR\u00a0and\u00a0Luc RAMPAER\u00a0from the\u00a0BOIC\u00a0(Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee), who made sure everything went well for\u00a0Team Belgium, and asked them to look back on the World Games in Wroc\u0142aw.\\n\u00a0\\n\u00a0Harlan Levey\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0It's quite some time since\u00a0Harlan LEVEY\u00a0crossed the Atlantic Ocean, from the USA to Europe. Although he has some Polish blood running through his veins, he did not choose to settle in Poland, instead opting to put down roots in our very own Low Countries. Nowadays he's settled in Brussels and has his own art gallery in the city,\u00a0Harlan Levey Projects.The Polish Institute has already collaborated with Harlan Levey on a few occassions for exhibitions by Polish artists, namely\u00a0Marcin Dudek\u00a0and\u00a0Radek Szlaga\u00a0(see\u00a0here,\u00a0here\u00a0and\u00a0here). Harlan never intentionally looked for Polish artists, but he found them anyhow. He is a great admirer of their work, for several reasons. In the movie, Harlan himself will tell you what the collaboration with these Polish artists means to him!\\n\u00a0\\n\u00a0Ezra Veldhuis and Tineke Bacqu\u00e9\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In 2015 Polish artists from the\u00a0School of Murals in Gda\u0144sk\u00a0visited Ghent. Sightseeing definitely wasn't on the agenda, as they came to paint a mural, together with some students from the\u00a0School of Arts KASK. You can\u00a0still go and see the mural\u00a0now, which is located in the very centre of the city!In 2016 the KASK students took a trip to Poland, more precisely to the village of Wizna, in north-eastern Poland, to paint\u00a0some other murals. These students,\u00a0Ezra VELDHUIS\u00a0and\u00a0Tineke BACQUE, are now taking their first steps into the art world. We visited them to talk about their experiences and invited them to predict the future, in traditionally Polish style!\\n\u00a0\\n\u00a0\u00a0Ypres Chamber Choir\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In 2014, we commemorated the\u00a0100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I. On the occasion of this commemoration, an international concert was organised, entitled \\\"Thousand Voices for Peace\\\", bringing together singers from all over the world to perform a piece written by the Polish composer\u00a0Krzysztof Penderecki.We invited\u00a0Medici Cantantes, a choir from Wroc\u0142aw. During their stay, they also visited the\u00a0Ypres Chamber Choir, with whom they gave\u00a0a joint concert in Ypres. In the film, some members of the chamber choir look back at that time.\\nhttps:\/\/youtu.be\/hAyIrDLlURk\\nDirk Verbeke\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\\nOn 8 May, we commemorate the official end of World War II. Everywhere in Belgium, you can find organisations that try to keep memories of the war alive. One example is \u2018Eerste Pools Pantserdivisie\u2019 (First Polish Armoured division), in honour of\u00a0General Maczek\u2019s First Polish Armoured Division, that liberated several parts of Flanders throughout September 1944.Dirk VERBEKE\u00a0is president of this organisation, and thus very involved with the history of Poles in Belgium. Besides this, he also founded several projects between the city of\u00a0Tielt\u00a0and Poland. We visited Dirk at a traditional Polish Christmas dinner, where he told us all about his link to Poland.\\n\u00a0\\n\u00a0Annie Grzeskowiak\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\\nOf all the people we spoke to in this series,\u00a0Annie GRZESKOWIAK\u00a0has to be the most obvious choice: as her name suggests,she\u2019s a child of Polish parents. She herself, however, is Belgian to the bone, as she was born and raised here.That said, her Polish roots were always present in some way throughout her life. Polish culture was passed on to her by her parents, mainly in the shape of traditions and folklore. We\u2019ll let Annie herself speak about how this Polish culture was passed on in Belgium.\\n\u00a0\\nPieter Lagrou\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\\nAs a professor of contemporary history at the\u00a0ULB\u00a0(Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles),\u00a0Pieter LAGROU\u00a0frequently collaborates with the Polish Institute. On several occasions he was asked by us to share his knowledge as an historian, and he also received our support for study trips to PolandPieter Lagrou\u2019s link to Poland is not, as you might think, a result of his interest in Polish history, but much more connected to his interest in the impressive and rich museum culture in Poland. Pieter Lagrou will reveal more in the movie.\\n\u00a0\\n\u00a0Bosse Provoost\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\\nWe didn\u2019t know\u00a0Bosse PROVOOST\u00a0at the Polish Institute before our recording took place, but we are very glad to have met him! Bosse is a young and promising theatre director, who has already\u00a0received a prize\u00a0from the Flemish theater festival\u00a0Theater Aan Zee\u00a0(Theatre at Sea), and whose performances are always praised by critics and audiences.Let\u2019s be honest: the fact that he has a theatre collective named\u00a0de polen\u00a0(the Poles) was a pretty clear indication of some Polish influence. And this is indeed the case: Bosse derives much of his inspiration from the work of Polish artists like Gombrowicz, Borowczyck, Grotowski and G\u00f3recki. He even named one of his performances after the latter! In the movie, Bosse himself will explain to you what these influences mean to him.\\n\u00a0\\nFinally we would also like to thank the following persons, without whom we never could've realised this project:\\nMarta KUCZA, the director who managed the whole project and made sure everything went right;\\nTom GINEYTS\u00a0and\u00a0Didier GUILLAIN, respectively the cameraman and sound engineer whose contribution is undeniably;\\nFr\u00e9d\u00e9rick DUPONT, who was responsible for the editing of all separate parts;\\nH\u00e9l\u00e8ne CLERC-DENIZOT, who was in charge of the soundmixing;\\nS\u00e9gol\u00e8ne NEYROUD, who came up with the sounds for the title sequence;\\nChristian PICON\u00a0from\u00a0Pixileon, who animated our title sequence,\\nAnd of course everyone who was so kind to participate in our project with a short interview!\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"pl-PL\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2018\/03\/01\/polska-2\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/99990fr-2-3.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/99990fr-2-3.png\",\"width\":572,\"height\":353},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2018\/03\/01\/polska-2\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"POLSKA\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/\",\"name\":\"Instytut Polski w Brukseli\",\"description\":\"Instytuty Polskie\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":{\"@type\":\"PropertyValueSpecification\",\"valueRequired\":true,\"valueName\":\"search_term_string\"}}],\"inLanguage\":\"pl-PL\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/ccb27e6f37dc023e9a8d394b9bc37c18\",\"name\":\"dyjakn\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"pl-PL\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"dyjakn\"},\"url\":\"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/dyjakn\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"POLSKA -

One example is \u2018Eerste Pools Pantserdivisie\u2019 (First Polish Armoured division), in honour of\u00a0General Maczek\u2019s First Polish Armoured Division, that liberated several parts of Flanders throughout September 1944.Dirk VERBEKE\u00a0is president of this organisation, and thus very involved with the history of Poles in Belgium. Besides this, he also founded several projects between the city of\u00a0Tielt\u00a0and Poland. We visited Dirk at a traditional Polish Christmas dinner, where he told us all about his link to Poland.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0Annie Grzeskowiak\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\nOf all the people we spoke to in this series,\u00a0Annie GRZESKOWIAK\u00a0has to be the most obvious choice: as her name suggests,she\u2019s a child of Polish parents. She herself, however, is Belgian to the bone, as she was born and raised here.That said, her Polish roots were always present in some way throughout her life. Polish culture was passed on to her by her parents, mainly in the shape of traditions and folklore. We\u2019ll let Annie herself speak about how this Polish culture was passed on in Belgium.\n\u00a0\nPieter Lagrou\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\nAs a professor of contemporary history at the\u00a0ULB\u00a0(Universit\u00e9 Libre de Bruxelles),\u00a0Pieter LAGROU\u00a0frequently collaborates with the Polish Institute. On several occasions he was asked by us to share his knowledge as an historian, and he also received our support for study trips to PolandPieter Lagrou\u2019s link to Poland is not, as you might think, a result of his interest in Polish history, but much more connected to his interest in the impressive and rich museum culture in Poland. Pieter Lagrou will reveal more in the movie.\n\u00a0\n\u00a0Bosse Provoost\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\nWe didn\u2019t know\u00a0Bosse PROVOOST\u00a0at the Polish Institute before our recording took place, but we are very glad to have met him! Bosse is a young and promising theatre director, who has already\u00a0received a prize\u00a0from the Flemish theater festival\u00a0Theater Aan Zee\u00a0(Theatre at Sea), and whose performances are always praised by critics and audiences.Let\u2019s be honest: the fact that he has a theatre collective named\u00a0de polen\u00a0(the Poles) was a pretty clear indication of some Polish influence. And this is indeed the case: Bosse derives much of his inspiration from the work of Polish artists like Gombrowicz, Borowczyck, Grotowski and G\u00f3recki. He even named one of his performances after the latter! In the movie, Bosse himself will explain to you what these influences mean to him.\n\u00a0\nFinally we would also like to thank the following persons, without whom we never could've realised this project:\nMarta KUCZA, the director who managed the whole project and made sure everything went right;\nTom GINEYTS\u00a0and\u00a0Didier GUILLAIN, respectively the cameraman and sound engineer whose contribution is undeniably;\nFr\u00e9d\u00e9rick DUPONT, who was responsible for the editing of all separate parts;\nH\u00e9l\u00e8ne CLERC-DENIZOT, who was in charge of the soundmixing;\nS\u00e9gol\u00e8ne NEYROUD, who came up with the sounds for the title sequence;\nChristian PICON\u00a0from\u00a0Pixileon, who animated our title sequence,\nAnd of course everyone who was so kind to participate in our project with a short interview!"},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2018\/03\/01\/polska-2\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/99990fr-2-3.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2020\/04\/99990fr-2-3.png","width":572,"height":353},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/en\/2018\/03\/01\/polska-2\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"POLSKA"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/","name":"Instytut Polski w Brukseli","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/ccb27e6f37dc023e9a8d394b9bc37c18","name":"dyjakn","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/8275a451988be0ae9a525d2a55b644f7?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"dyjakn"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/author\/dyjakn\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2847","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/127"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2847"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2847\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2848,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2847\/revisions\/2848"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2847"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2847"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/brussels\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2847"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
