The
Explorers Festival has been held in Lodz in Poland since 1999.
Every year the festival hosts world-known alpinists, explorers, sportsmen,
globetrotters and discoverers. There is also a review of films by
the most famous film-makers, competitions, photo exhibitions and workshops.
Highly regarded and respected figures from all over the world are
the festival guests. They share their passion to discover and explore
the world.
We had the honour of playing host to Reinhold Messner, professor Bertrand
Piccard, Sir Edmund Hillary, Sir Christian Bonington, Don Walsh, Martin
Strel, Borge Ousland, Liv Arnesen, Fiona Thornewill. Michael Brown,
Lynn Hill, Chris Sharma, Martin Strel, Kurt Albert, Diego Azubel,
Norman Kent, among other outstanding figures.
Presentations delivered by the festival
guests contribute to better understanding of the inner drive that
is present in everyone. Our guests tackle a question of human
limits and a sense of searching them. Meeting and talking with outstanding
explorers is, especially for young people who only start to shape
their attitude to the surrounding world, crucial in learning about
a new, different and beautiful dimension of life. Explorers Festival
corresponds to people's interests and fascinations. It reminds them
how valuable close contact with the nature is, it promotes active
lifestyle, inflames passions, triggers sensitivity and openness to
another person, provides opportunity to meet people of different nations
living in different environment and of different interests as well
as promotes nature conservation.
Participation of our quests in the festival
is very important, because it is message to young people i.e. "dream,
live interesting life and protect our planet for future generations".
It is worth mentioning that the festival
is a non profit event and there are no entrance fees.
