CREATIVE WAVES, project's final conference, 25-27.09.2022, Gdańsk

Is this the end of cooperation of active women? Will they all come back and delve into their world after the end of the activities? The creators of this good enterprise hope not, there is still a lot to show, discuss and work out together. But it all depends on inspiration, on their own and others' needs to fulfill their own dreams and help others fulfill theirs. All this will be served by the final conference, which is titled:

TALKS TO EMPOWER. STRONG, VISIONARY, ACTIVIST WOMEN & CRAFTS
