Accessibility Gala
WSB Academy Without Barriers: Accessibility Gala
A full house, a top-level concert, and moving moments honoring people who, on a daily basis, build an Academy open to everyone. The WSB Academy Accessibility Gala, organized as part of the University’s 30th-anniversary celebrations, gathered at the Palace of Culture in Zagłębie representatives of WSB authorities, city officials from Dąbrowa Górnicza, non-governmental organizations, and the entire academic community.
“Accessibility is not an addition for us; it is a foundation,” emphasized Prof. Zdzisława Dacko-Pikiewicz, Rector of WSB Academy.
