FAQ

Below, you will find a list of questions that will help you with your EJC 2017 preparations. If you think that a question is missing and you would like to know the answer – write to us at: contact@ejc2017.org

EJC

  • When can I register?

Here you have some information.

  • Did you get my payment/When I will get my e-Ticket?

The registration is provided by the European Juggling Association. We, the EJC 2017 do not have the access to the EJA bank account and therefore we cannot check if your payment came.

The EJA is developing the registration system to make it easier for you to participate at this EJC and upcoming EJCs. It takes time, to implement the enhancements that were learned from last EJC. Once all received payments are matched and the e-tickets are double checked and ready to be sent out, you’ll receive your payment confirmation including your e-ticket.

Thank you for your understanding!

Poland

  • What’s the weather like in Poland?

It is usually pleasantly warm in July and August (but take something warm for the evenings, just in case :)). Temperatures are generally between 15°C at night and 25°C during the day, though it’s possible to see temperatures above 30°C.

Polish is the official language of Poland. Many people (usually the young) speak English and sometimes German, French or Spanish. Many older Poles can speak Russian.

Polish is a Slavic language. That means it has much in common with other Slavic languages, such as Russian, Czech, Slovenian, and others. Polish uses the Latin alphabet, so with practice, even an English speaker can learn to sound out the words.

In 2004 Poland joined the European Union. If you are a citizen of the EU, you don’t need a visa or any other document to come to Poland. All you should take is a passport or an ID card.
