She spends her free time singing, drawing, playing 'Dragon Age' and trying out new recipes.

From his early years he has been fascinated by the deep sea. It all started at the age of 7 with snorkeling, which is basically about observing the underwater world using a mask with a pipe. Later, as a teenager, he began his adventures with freediving: while holding his breath he could venture deeper when under water and expand his perception of the marine life. When this was not enough, the next natural next step for Michal was scuba diving followed, this time on firm land, by enrolling to oceanographic studies. He bound his life with the sea which has resulted in beautiful and breathtaking photographs of the underwater life, as well as enthusing others with his talks about his adventures. Michal joined Balticarium, because he wants to show the hidden colours of the Baltic Sea, its beauty and the need its protecting and revitalizing. Michael Procajło has granted our portal some of his photos and videos of the animals found in the Baltic Sea.

This individual is devoted entirely to his biggest passion, music. What genre ? Any good one. Rock, pop, folk and electronica, but when it comes to creating sounds, it is probably the latter that he finds most interesting: everything that derives directly from Kraftwerk, in other words, the contemporary club music, and in it, he values Tech House most. A great supporter of modern electronic media as the means of popularizing scientific knowledge. Besides, Euzebiusz has been fascinated by astrophysics and cosmology for years. He finds it obvious  to participate in our project as he lives by the Baltic Sea and believes the youngest citizens of our planet should know its fauna better. In his humble opinion, 'Balticarium'  does all that in a very modern, attractive and accessible manner. P.S. Oops... Euzebiusz also likes fish and seafood when served on a plate. He composed the music for the home page animation and for “What animal is this ?" game. 

A drum group, created by three extremely talented friends, Tomasz Myszk, Nikodem Wojtkiewicz and Mateusz Zawadzki. Three different characters, three different interests, but one passion and goal. In short, a truly explosive artistic mixture. Working in their instrumental grottes “grottoes”, they plan, create and arrange. Their concerts are spontaneous and filled with positive energy. The trio works with singers and composers from Gdansk. Raised musically at the Academy of Music in Gdansk, they perform on both Polish and international music scenes. The enormity of ideas that makes each of their events unique makes audiences crave for more after leaving the concert. While on stage, those three extraordinary friends will provide you with what you would like to hear and see, but what sometimes does not seem to be an obvious combination. TRIO PER KA  shared with us pieces of their music for the Balticarium game called "Find me".

Created by two friends eco-xciting blog about ecology, the environmental protection and being eco. The first one finished ecologically focused studies, and so he has a scientific basis to deal with the protection of the environment and ecology. That's why he writes about serious matters (green energy, climate agreement, ecology in the politics of countries). He gives statistics providing a wide view of ecology and explains why MWh from windmill is better than MWh of Bełchatów, Poland. The second of them may not have the green education, but has a green idea of ecology. So that is why he received the role of the one who writes about the matters of lesser caliber, and by the way takes care of it, that would be ecologically and fascinatingly, what means eco-xcitingly. Green Projects periodically creates articles for Balticarium blog.

This group comprises PhD, MA and BA students from different Polish cities who met in Wrocław, Poland, the European Capital of Culture 2016. Each year they broaden their field of activity and participate in new events. Sometimes these belong to the field of linguistics, culture and translation studies, sometimes to didactics. However, the students’ goal remains the same: to gain experience while doing what they enjoy the most in everyday life. They were glad to take part in the Balticarium project because they like translation challenges. They have already tried their hand at translating aphorisms, films and poems. Each undertaking culminated with publishing or presenting prepared translations. This is their first opportunity to localise a website. It makes them extremely happy that thanks to their effort the Balticarium project will reach also the speakers of German.
