Location 

For the next Spring Training, we will be headed to the village of Erazmów in central Poland, where the sections of 
ESN-EYE Lodz, ESN UJ Krakow, ESN Politechnika Wroclawska and Erasmus Student Network AGH Cracow will unite their forces in welcoming us!

The hosting venue of Stary Folwark is nothing short of extraordinary - read below a brief history of this rural mansion, that we are excited to have as our future training venue:
 

"Stary Folwark" (eng. "The Old Manor") dates back to the late 19th century, the golden age of the city of Łódź as a capital of the textile industry. The manor was established in the year 1888 by the house of Shleier, German factory owners. It was meant to serve as a peaceful and quiet summer mansion, giving its owners a break from the noise and tension of their hard-working factories and the city itself. 
Even though "Stary Folwark" was only one of many similar mansions to be built in the region, it is one of the only few to live to see nowadays in a good shape. Although it outlived theShleiers by over a century, it carries on to fill its duty with its vine-covered brick walls and fireplace-floodlit cosy halls.

We are excited about the possibilities and atmosphere provided by this secluded training venue and its gorgeous surroundings, and are eagerly looking forward to opening the registrations for the future participants!
