The winner of the competition for the fairy tale Baltic Tales is Karolina Budzisz, a third-year student of Journalism and Social Communication at the University of Gdańsk. Her fairy tale 'Early bird' in a form of a radio play will be soon heard on Radio Mors.

The Baltic Tales competition was organised by the Student Event Organisation Group operating at the ACK Alternator. The competition was aimed at students, PhD students and listeners of the Gdańsk University of the Third Age. According to the organisers, the project was supposed to unite generations and stimulate imagination. The works were supposed to use as many elements possible for sound interpretation, dialogues and to refer to the theme of the competition.

Karolina Budzisz is a student of Journalism and Social Communication at the Faculty of Journalism and Social Communication of the University of Gdańsk and has been involved in international youth cooperation programmes for several years. She is interested in culture and art, especially European literature, music and cinema. She travels, reads, listens, observes, and sometimes, as she says, puts her thoughts into words. - 'For me, writing is a medium through which I express my curiosity about the world,' she explains. So far, she has mainly written music and literary reviews and has also tried her hand at poetry. For some time now, she has been thinking about writing her first book.

- 'The idea for a fairy tale was born when I heard what the theme of the competition was. "Baltic tales" seemed to be a theme very close to me because of the environment in which I grew up,' explains Karolina Budzisz. - 'I grew up by the Puck Bay, in a town which, as it seems to me, is somehow present in the fairy tale. It was also an opportunity to return for a moment to my childhood, to the world of imagination, when the very surroundings in question took on fantastic qualities,' she adds.

The winner of the competition believes that the little hero of her story in a simple way conveys what should be a human relationship with nature, which he is at hand.
