On the occasion of Women’s Day, join us on a fascinating journey following the footsteps of Polish female aviators. We invite you to Aviation Women’s Day, which will take place on March 8–9, 2024. What attractions await you? Read on.
On March 8 and 9, you will find out the answers to these and many other questions!
We have prepared a rich programme of attractions, including the vernissage and a curator-guided tour of the “Women in Polish Aviation” exhibition, talks by exceptional guests, a panel discussion, a concert by the Kraków Old Town Orchestra, and more!
Not only experienced female pilots and aviation enthusiasts will take the stage, but also representatives of the youngest generation of female aviators. There will also be men who will share their perspective on women in aviation.
There will also be attractions for children and whole families. The youngest participants will be able to learn about the role of women in Polish aviation by taking part in thematic workshops and a field game — on their own or with their whole family. The cherry on top will be the opportunity to take an aviation photo in a pilot’s outfit.
