1. What is the theme of Poland pavilion?
The theme of the pavilion "Poland is smiling" is based on our general concept tool. We decided to build our polish pavilion at Shanghai Expo with familiarity principles. We've tried to arrange the pavilion such a way and tried to combine all the activities to let the Chinese visitors to able to find the as many as possible similar issues. We're sharing the experience of migration of people from country side to city. The main theme of polish pavilion contains the issue of mass migration from the country side to the city. This was a big phenomenon at 1960s, 70s, 80s at Poland and China is also facing a similar issue.
2. Can you tell us the motivation worked behind the design of the pavilion?
Our major principle is the main motivation to design our pavilion in such a unique way. We've tried to design something that Chinese spectators would feel from their heart would like because they would feel the united traditional value of Art of paper cut. That is traditional for the Chinese people and also traditional for the Poland.
3. How long does it take to visit the Poland Pavilion?
We are liberal and flexible. There are no such rules for the visitors that you can do this or you can't do this. Everybody in Poland is liberal and flexible. Visitors can spend 10 minutes here or they can spend hours after hours. We've guides around the pavilion and they are always ready to help the visitors. We have art exhibition, resting place, dragon shows and cartoon shows for the kids. All are free and open for everybody.
4. What activities have you taken to promote your pavilion?
We have different promotional activities. Till date we have arranged more than 130+ round tables, seminars, conferences, music shows, art exhibitions, cultural programs, and many others. For media, businessman, artists we always have some special activities. We also have a special activity that Chinese parents can leave their kids in our cartoon show every Sunday and can go around to enjoy by themselves and relax; meanwhile the kids are here enjoying the cartoon show here in our pavilion.
