I found information on one of Erasmus Plus forums that the Ball of Opportunities organized by the FURORA Foundation to mark the end of the youth exchange &#8222;Leaders of Tomorrow &#8221; would be taking place on October 12th. As described it was an opportunity for networking, social games, and even dancing the polonaise together (as the official opening of the ball). We couldn&#8217;t  miss a presentation about Erasmus Plus and other EU programs that offer opportunities to the less privileged. The organizers chose a less obvious part of Warsaw \u2013 Praga P\u00f3\u0142noc \u2013 as the venue for the event, specifically the Loft 21 club. I figured I couldn&#8217;t miss it since I like to party, have an elegant Viennese jacket, and am connected with the Erasmus Plus program. However, once I got there, it turned out that the former president of the Foundation&#8217;s last name was Tempczyk, and his brother was also Pawe\u0142, so for a moment the organizers thought the former president&#8217;s brother had applied to join the ball \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[English version below] Ju\u017c d\u0142u\u017cszy czas nic nie publikowa\u0142em \ud83d\ude09 wi\u0119c chcia\u0142bym napisa\u0107 dzisiaj o balu, w kt\u00f3rym bra\u0142em udzia\u0142 jeszcze w pa\u017adzierniku.
