Every year, our twin city Győr attracts literature lovers in Hungary. At the 23rd edition of the Book Fair at the National Theatre in Győr in November, the visitors could meet Hungarian writers and stock up on favourite publishing items.

What are creative districts and how do they come into being? These are the issues touched upon during a conversation between Carolina Pietyra, Director of the Krakow Festival Office and a special guest Basile Michel. At the Arsenal City Gallery on 16 October, the participants of this conversation introduced us to the subject of Basile Michel's book entitled "Creative and cultural districts. The ambiguity of art and culture in the post-industrial city". Its Polish edition, translated by Paweł Łapinski, was published in 2023 thanks to the cooperation of Wysoki Zamek Publishing House, the Krakow Festival Office, the Institute of Urban Culture with the support of the Kazimierz Gallery.

All teams were awarded prizes by the organisers, and the best teams will have a chance to perform at next year's Tech of Tomorrow conference.

It was a warm summer evening. The gentle semi-darkness in the Poznań Parish Church is pierced by the last rays of the setting sun. The sound of footsteps from a growing crowd echoes within. Vastly outnumbered, a handful of tourists quickly blend in. Cordial greetings and hushed conversations can be heard. Faces familiar from Poznań's concert halls occasionally appear. Whispers gradually die down in the tightly packed pews. Up on the gallery, a musician takes a seat at the organ. Another "Old Town Organ Concert" is about to commence.
