Sunday July 1st saw the participants taking part in the eleventh edition of the Visegrad Summer School arrive in Krakow (some arrived on Saturday). Certainly the common theme among the participants upon their entry into Krakow was one of excitement at the prospect of playing a significant role at this year’s event. Welcomed by one of the best days of the year thus far in Krakow, the participant’s expectations were understandably high ahead of the two week programme that awaits them.
