University of the Third Age in Gdow

The slideshow entitled "The Kenai Peninsula – Alaska in miniature" was held on November 21^st, 2013 in the building of Culture Center in Gdow, within project "Academy of Social Activity", accomplished by local University of the Third Age. About 40-50 persons came to the meeting, mostly seniors being regular members of the UTA, interested in a lecture about Alaska, its inhabitants and wildlife. Guests have been welcomed with warm words and a smile by Mrs. Edyta Trojanska-Urbanik – manager of the Center. After the lecture there came time for formalities i.e. registrations in student’s books. The only difference between traditional student’s books and those kept by the seniors from UTA was yellow color of covers. In pleasant atmosphere of traveling all participants received credit and in the same time they gathered quite a lot of practical knowledge about Alaska (photo 1-6). On March 13^th, 2014 in Gdow took place another slideshow about my expedition to Alaska, this time entitled "Valley of the Yukon River – In the Interior of Alaska". The attendance was good, likewise weather and because all of the UTA members enjoyed photographs and stories from the Far North, succeeding evening with Alaska should be recognized as very successful (photo 7-10).
