Dear APTEA Friends,
We have to inform you, with much regret, that the 15th APTEA Alumni Congress in 2020 is cancelled. In this extraordinary and challenging time, the health and wellbeing of all of us is the most important. The coronavirus outbreak makes the event impossible in the planned May date, and the feedback to our questionnaire shows that a rescheduled Congress in October 2020, a proposed alternative date, would have too small number of participants to be financially viable.
As soon as more is known on the health and travel developments we will sit together as a team and work on a new date. We will keep you posted.
The cancellation of the Congress has negative financial impact and we are still negotiating with the subcontractors. However we would like to assure those who paid the registration fees that they will be reimbursed.
In the meantime, we will appreciate your suggestions for traditional and alternate formulas and platforms for the APTEA’s reunions. Please send your ideas to: aptea2020@gmail.com
Take care and keep safe.
Polish Organizing Committee
On a hot June 2021 evening, a group of Polish APTEA alumni and a few special guests gathered in Warsaw, to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the APTEA program. Krzysztof Laskowski (Group 3) came with his wife all the way from Gdynia (over 300 km). Roman Przybyl prepared a witty speech for this special occassion.
Many toasts were raised to APTEA teachers, colleagues and friends of this unique Australian program.
Greetings from Poland to the whole APTEA family!
