The Centre for Polish-Russian Dialogue and Understanding in cooperation with the City of Gdańsk are organising the fourth meeting of “Club of Gdańsk - Meeting Point for Polish and Russian Young Leaders”. The event will be held in Gdańsk, 8-10 September 2016.

The Club is a regular meeting platform for young and dynamic people from Poland and Russia, actively involved in public affairs at national, regional and local levels.
