Independence Day Celebration in Spain - "Independence Chillout"
"Independence Day is a special moment that we celebrate with pride, recalling the heroic struggles of our ancestors" - agnieszka Juniewicz, president of the Hispola Association and organizer of the event, emphasizes. The program will include a Polish table tasting, barbecue and singing Polish songs together. There will also be a game zone for participants, including quizzes related to Polish history that will bring Polish traditions closer to adults and children alike.
"We want the Polish community in Spain to have the opportunity to celebrate Independence Day in a way that integrates our community and at the same time gives us a chance to show Polish culture to other nationalities. This is a moment when we not only celebrate our Polish identity, but also show Spaniards that the Polish community is an important part of the local community." - juniewicz points out. In turn, Aleksandra Kmak-Pamirska of the HumanDOC Foundation emphasizes that the picnic is a great opportunity to show Spaniards Poles at their best and break all stereotypes. "We can show ourselves as open, creative and active members of the local community," - he says. The organizers (the Hispola Association, the HumanDoc Foundation and the Polish newspaper Polska Costa), focus on openness and cooperation with the local community.
The picnic will take place in the Reina Sofía Park, near the amphitheater in Guardamar, starting at 2 p.m. Participants should bring chairs, snacks and drinks, as the idea of sharing delicious Polish food always accompanies these gatherings.
This is an excellent opportunity for both older and younger Poles to feel pride in the national holiday, while building intercultural bridges in an international environment. Admission to the picnic is free.
We cordially invite you to celebrate with us!
The event is implemented as part of the project entitled Polish Costa - Polish events on the southern coast of Spain funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland in the competition "Polonia and Poles abroad 2024 - Polish events and initiatives".
