Preparations for this project lasted over 6 months. Not only the inhabitants of the town, commune and Słupca poviat helped in breaking the record, but also those who visit Słupca from time to time. Folk groups from outside the region also appeared on the stadium turf. They were all dressed in stylized, historic clothes. Even the date was not accidental. The record was broken on the International Dance Day, and the 100th anniversary of independence was celebrated at the same time.
Słupczanie waited for the jury's decision for almost a year. Finally, the longed-for information came that the record was recognized and entered into the Guinness Book of Books. This meant that no one in the world had ever danced a polonaise in such great numbers.
Słupca with the Guinness record
In 2018, 588 dancers came to the stadium in Słupca to jointly organize the world's largest polonaise dance show. This extraordinary performance lasted as long as 40 minutes. Just like in the Saxon times or at the end of the Napoleonic era.

How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
STEP 1
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
STEP 2
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
STEP 3
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
STEP 4
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links
Would you like to implement the project in your city as well?

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
