The next edition of football competitions for Olivia Business Centre Residents is underway. The defending champions from CityFit, as well as the always very solid competitors from HK Finance and PwC, seem to be the favourites for the final triumph. The chances of the most “football” team, last year’s finalists from the Lechia Gdańsk Foundation, are also highly rated.

However, it would be a mistake to underestimate the 2014 champions, the Energa Indestructible Dream Team, of whom they have won five out of seven matches so far. The dark horse of the league may turn out to be the perpetrator of the biggest surprise so far, i.e. the Olivia Business Centre team, which co-leads the competition, but which finished the previous editions closer to the lower regions of the table. On the other hand, the Staples team is making noticeable progress from season to season, confidently heading for the first time in history to reach the quarter-finals.

– Our team started this season very well. There is a noticeable improvement in the elements practiced during training and the overall team chemistry. We have more players who score goals and we consistently use the tactics we have agreed upon. Many of us have taken our game to the next level – says Marcin Burakiewicz, Senior Oracle Developer in Pricing Analytics and captain of the Staples team. – This season we are going to be in the top eight and fight in the knockout stage – he admits.

In the 2018/19 season, there are a record 17 teams in the league. Among them, there are several teams for which this is their debut in the competition: AirHelp, Arrow Electronics, FujiFilm and the Pomeranian Regional Chamber of Civil Engineers.

– We joined the league because we love football. In our team there are players from different countries, with different styles of play. For this reason, in our first season we have to learn how to play with each other and get used to the rules of the Olivia Sports league. However, we are hungry for victories, so we train hard to improve the quality of our team. Our goal in the first season is to finish in the TOP 5 – says Carlos Vieira, Team Leader of Brazilian Market and Team Captain of AirHelp.

League matches are played on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the evenings on a covered pitch with artificial turf at ul. Haller in Gdansk. The teams play a round-robin format, with the top eight advancing to the knockout stage. The grand finale is planned for May.

– Olivia Sports competitions are becoming more and more attractive every year. I have a very good opinion of the changes introduced by the organizer over the last two seasons, in particular the game with a ball intended for futsal and the withdrawal of players associated in professional leagues from the competition – adds Marcin Burakiewicz.

Holidays in Olivia? Of course it is! And that’s the best part!

Behind us (or rather for the children who participated in the winter day camps at OBC) are days full of challenges, impressions, energy, laughter, fun and learning (yes, you can learn through play!). We started – it couldn’t have been otherwise – in a unique school, Thinking Zone, located in… in Olivia! We started the morning in a sporty way, with ice skating in the neighboring Olivia Hall. A second breakfast is obligatory so that when you gain strength, you have the strength for programming and robotics classes. This is also where LEGO bricks were in motion! Then a delicious dinner (we also invited our parents, so it was very family-like!) and going out into the field. Every afternoon we provided our pupils with different attractions (m.in. trampolines, walks, gym classes). There was also afternoon storytelling, reading, lazing around… We ended the winter holidays with a treasure hunt in Olivia Star, with a view of the Tri-City. We also celebrated the birthday of one of the participants.

In other words, it was special during the winter holidays in Olivia!

All under the care of experienced staff who made every effort to ensure that the children of the Residents, because it was for them that we organized the “winter camp”, integrated into the group, made new friends, experienced an unforgettable time and acquired new skills.

“We wanted it to be an extraordinary time for the children, so we made every effort to make the classes very diverse. Actually, every day brought something new and I can assure you that boredom was out of the question – says Magdalena Piskorska from Olivia Business Centre, project coordinator. – We actively used our neighborhood, so all the kids improved their skating skills. Some of them showed great self-denial and courage, as they stood on the ice rink for the first time. We would like to thank the parents for consistently strengthening the “sports spirit” – Adds.

For the curious:

• “Programming in the world of MINECRAFT is an amazing and exciting class that teaches programming in English in an accessible form! The child enters the world of technology and acquires knowledge and practical skills! During the classes, we develop logical and analytical thinking as well as spatial imagination. Tasks become fun, and play becomes a task to be performed.
• ROBOTICS – children learn the secrets of robotics and develop their English language skills at the same time! Robots are fun, knowledge and excitement all rolled into one. It is a bridge that connects children’s imagination and creativity with the infinite world of science. During the classes, everyone takes on amazing roles. Sometimes they’re in Hollywood, and other times we’re transported to space, where we have to complete a secret mission! Children are co-creators of these stories, so they never get bored! They learn teamwork, logical thinking and decision-making, which is everything they need for an exciting future!

Here is a short photo report:

 

 

Did you know that high school students from our Thinking Zone organize Open Skull for high school students from all over the Tri-City?

Open Skull is an event that combines elements of partying, conferences, discussions, cinema and, of course, great fun. Open Skull is aimed at teenagers aged 14 to 19 who want to make new friends, learn something new, discuss a movie, a book or just have a good time with friends.

The event is divided into two parts. The first one, from 5.00 p.m. to 8.00 p.m., is a discussion and workshop part. The second one, from 8:00 p.m. until the morning, is the time for fun, competitions, board and computer game tournaments. The whole event takes place in a modern space in the Olivia Business Center in Olivia Gate.

And what, sounds appealing?

Participants have at their disposal 7 workshop rooms and a common space – kitchens. There will be a place for a nap, don’t worry, but, as the organizers think, there will be no time or desire for it. The easiest way to get to Thinking Zone is by tram (stop: Bażyńskiego) or SKM (stop: Gdańsk Przymorze-University).

Who is the driving force behind Open Skull? “The organizers are WE, a group of sometimes crazy and crazy, but certainly very sociable and positive youth. The project is prepared during entrepreneurship classes at Thinking Zone middle and high school. We complained about the lack of youth spots in the Tri-City, so we decided to take matters into our own hands and organize Open Skull.” –Say.

Open Skull will start on Friday afternoon 15.03.2019 and end on the morning of 16.03.2019.

On April 7, the Fields of Hope in Pomerania. We help hospices!

What’s going on?

The aim of the campaign is to raise money for hospice patients and to draw attention to the idea of hospice care. The first Fields of Hope bloomed in Edinburgh, Scotland, organized by the Marie Curie Cancer Care Foundation. From there, the custom of donating daffodils to people who joined the collection came to us.

The Fields of Hope in Pomerania, i.e. the Great Fundraiser and the Daffodil Relay Race, along with accompanying events, allow you to raise funds for: Hospice for Children and Adults Ks. E. Dutkiewicz SAC in Gdansk, Pomerania for Children Hospice, Caritas Hospice House. St. St. Joseph’s Church in Sopot, the Hospice Association st. St. Faustina in Sopot, St. Faustina Hospice St. Lawrence in Gdynia, together with the “Amber Haven” Children’s Hospice Home and the Puck Hospice of St. Padre Pio.

The fundraiser, organized every spring, allows hospices to finance care for adults and children who need round-the-clock, professional support. The word hospice derives from the Latin words hospes – “guest” and hospitium – “hospitality”. Hospice teams respond to the medical, but also ordinary, human needs of patients: closeness, conversation. In their mission, they are guided by the slogan “Hospice is also Life”.

History

The first Fields of Hope bloomed in Edinburgh, Scotland, organized by the Marie Curie Cancer Care Foundation. From there, the custom of donating daffodils to people who joined the collection came to us. The daffodil in this tradition symbolizes the triumph of sacrifice over selfishness, love over death. Every year at the beginning of October, around the International Day of Palliative and Hospice Care, people all over the world plant daffodils in front of schools, hospitals, offices, parks and squares. In spring, when they are in bloom, hospice centers organize a large fundraiser for their patients. Dressed in yellow, volunteers hand them over to donors in exchange for a donation to the can. The Polish history of the Fields of Hope began 18 years ago in Krakow, thanks to the Hospice of St. Paul. Lazarus. In 2003, the campaign took on a nationwide character and is organized in dozens of cities.

The Great Fundraiser and the Daffodil Relay for Pomeranian Hospices

The events in Puck, Gdynia, Sopot, Gdańsk and the surrounding area will be accompanied by a fundraiser for hospice patients. Volunteers in yellow T-shirts will collect money on the streets, squares, squares and churches. For a donation to the piggy bank, they will give daffodils. Thank you for every gesture of support!

It’s finally here and it makes you want to! The first harbinger of spring in Olivia Business Centre has a rather unusual face. Being active in many ways – such an idea for longer and longer days will certainly make many afternoons and weekends more pleasant. For a good start, just after Christmas, running and sailing classes, and a moment later family bicycle trips, a golf academy, a cruise to Bornholm, as well as meetings with sports champions and specialists in the field of dietetics and health. Our goal is to integrate people working at the Centre through the development of common passions – explain Mateusz Kusznierewicz and Maciej Olszewski, the originators of the Olivia Sport project.

Olivia Sports, what is it?

Mateusz Kusznierewicz: Olivia Sports is a project addressed to people working at Olivia Business Centre. From the very beginning, the mission of this place has been integration through the development of common passions. We want the residents to feel as comfortable as possible here, hence the idea of providing positive experiences and emotions during cyclical sports activities and events.

Maciej Olszewski: You can never have too many of them! We can see how the football league project has developed – the competition is entering a decisive phase and we should know the new champion before the summer holidays. This year, a record number of 17 teams entered the competition. At the same time, sailing meetings as part of the Olivia Yacht Club are very popular. The success of these activities and the questions about the next ones left us no choice (laughs).

Where do you start?

Maciej: We will debut on April 24 with running classes led by the most recognizable Polish extreme marathon runner. Piotr Suchenia has triumphs on both poles in his sporting achievements. The World Team Champion from Perth is a certified athletics coach and a popular blogger. He has a great contact with people, he can motivate and ignite to action. For many runners, he is an authority, so his next challenge is hardly surprising. I will tell you that Piotr intends to complete 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days. You see, we will be trained by the best of the best!

Only running trails in April?

Maciej: The sea is calling on the second day after training with Piotr. It will be the first descent on the water this season. Sailing training followed by 4 short races will take place under the supervision of Mateusz.

A truly masterful hand!

Maciej: That was exactly the assumption. We want the classes to go beyond pure physical activity and also be a meeting with interesting characters. Piotr and Mateusz are cool, positive people. They have a great contact with the participants and conduct classes in a very interesting way.

Matthew: Glad to hear! In addition to the above-mentioned activities, we will soon start cycling and Nordic Walking. We are also planning to organize sailing courses and cruises. However, we know that sailing is not the only way to live (laughs), so in the long run we will invite you to training in golf, dance, self-defense, dragon boats, boxing, tennis and horse riding.

This season at Olivia’s is going to be hot

Matthew: The list of activities is long. We want everyone to find something for themselves. We are open to suggestions and ideas of the participants. Olivia Sports is addressed to nearly 10,000 residents of OBC and we want them to have a real impact on its shape.

Who should be interested in the classes?

Maciej: Everyone who wants to move around a bit, be in a nice, interesting company, go out together, meet new people, spend time actively and interestingly, but also those who would like to try their hand at real sports competition. We are compiling a list of sporting events in which we will take part as Olivia Sports and for which our participants could prepare under the professional supervision of coaches.

Amateurish, but serious?

Mateusz: Most of us who work at OBC do sports by the way. Despite the fact that we do it at the amateur level, we want to “squeeze” as much as possible, optimize training and achieve the best possible results. We know very well that preparing for a competition at the right level is a complex and long-term process. Physical form alone is insufficient. Warm-up, stretching, proper diet, rest, logistics and equipment are also important. Interestingly, many people forget about this extremely important element of preparation. Hence our idea to meet with specialists in the field of preparations for the season, equipment and technical aspects, or injury prevention in sport. We will also organize events ourselves, such as the Star Challenge or the Children’s Day.

Where can I find information about planned classes?

Maciej: We invite you to the calendar of events on the OBC website. At the same time, we will inform you about the details on all social media channels of OBC and O4 Coworking, in the OBC newsletter, as well as by means of posters on screens and in elevators. We will be happy to answer your questions, just write an e-mail to: info@oliviasports.com, sharing your comments and ideas with us.

SIGN UP FOR A RUNNING WORKOUT

 

The Meeting of Business Women, a community of women that has been meeting regularly for 7 years, is behind us. During each such event, important, interesting topics close to women are discussed. This time Ewa Sowińska invited Wojciech Eichelberger, a well-known psychologist and psychotherapist. Author of the book m.in. “A Woman Without Guilt and Shame” shared his thoughts on female friendship with the participants.

Paula Rettinger, this year’s winner of the Business Women of the Year award in the Social Activity category, also spoke about the Sensitive Festival. It is a unique undertaking dedicated to socially sensitive art, the Final Gala of which will take place on 12.04.2019 at the Musical Theatre in Gdynia. Olivia was represented by Dominika Rossa, Head of Women’s Coworking from O4 Coworking.

“For 5 years now, ESO Audit, together with OBC and HK Finance, has been organising meetings of Business Women. The sixteenth such meeting is behind us. The guest was Mr. Wojciech Eichelberger. It was, as usual, inspiring. We discussed the importance of friendship between WOMEN and the need to support each other both in everyday activities and in business. Mr. Wojciech pointed out to us that there are still too few women in politics – where the law is made. So, ladies, act.” – says Dominika Rossa.

The partners of the event were the Sensitive Festival. Atelier Magda Beneda and Anna Rezulak.

“When a child laughs, the whole world laughs” – the words of Janusz Korczak best reflect the importance of Children’s Day in Sportowo, which this year will have a special face. On 1 June, the Gdańsk Shipyard Sports Club, Primary School No. 35 with sports departments and Olivia Business Centre have the honour to invite the youngest to participate in numerous sports competitions, which are usually held during the Olympic Games. The competition will have a unique character, because its goal is great family fun, this time with the active participation of well-known and titled athletes from the Tri-City.

Young participants will have the opportunity to try their hand at football and badminton pitches, find out that athletics and roller hockey are just as exciting as cycling, rugby, gymnastics, rowing and sailing.

“We are glad that together with Olivia Business Centre and School No. 35 we can prepare a festival with so many different family attractions for the residents of Gdańsk. We focus on activity and preventive healthcare, so it is hardly surprising that sport is the main theme of our joint event – explains Marek Kostecki, President of GKS Stoczniowiec.

Energy and laughter will happen in every nook and cranny of the sports town. No one will be able to get bored here, because this important day will be full of attractions. On the stage there will be shows, presentations, meetings with interesting and amazing guests who are admired by the fans.

“We hope that the meeting with outstanding figures from the world of sport will instill a desire to be active. Children’s Day in Oliwa will be a great opportunity to find out what’s going on in the sports grass – reveals Dagmara Rybicka, Communication Manager at Olivia Business Centre.

Among the partners of the event we will see m.in. badminton star Kamila Augustyn , a participant of the Olympic Games in Beijing and London, who will face the daredevils of precise darts shots. Adrianna Dadci-Smoliniec, an Olympian from Athens, European Champion and multimedalist of the Polish Championships, will convince the participants that judo is fun. There will be a symbolic boxing ring, with Marcin ” Express” Marczak, a professional boxer and organizer of popular boxing galas. There’s something for everyone, so when you get bored with shadow fighting, it’s best to try spectacular free exercises, jumps and balance elements under the supervision of experienced coaches and MKS Gdańsk players. Fans of two wheels will be able to enjoy the RowerOver Association, which, in addition to insane attractions, has prepared an obstacle course and a workshop on how to move safely in road traffic.

The strength of the teams will be demonstrated by the basketball and futsal teams of AZS University of Gdańsk, Rugby Club Lechia Gdańsk, Biało-Zielone Ladies Gdańskand School No. 35 , which for years has been referred to as a forge of talents in handball, figure skating and ice hockey. It is here, at the Gdańsk Shipyard ice rink in the Olivia Hall, that many world sports stars started their careers, with whom we will also meet on 1 June.

– The cooperation of our club with Olivia Business Centre is growing and tightening year by year, and in 2019 we are celebrating exactly half a century of cooperation with School No. 35. For my part, I assure you that we will take care of the “master” side of the project. I confirm the participation of GKS Stoczniowiec speed skaters, national champions, participants of the European and World Championships and the last Polish Games in Pyongchang, as well as representatives of our hockey teams, which celebrated the vice-championship of Poland in their age categories. I hope that the weather will be good for us, but if it rains, we are also prepared for this variant, then the festival will take place in the large Olivia Hall – says Marek Kostecki, President of GKS Stoczniowiec.

Children will be reminded that summer is approaching by water sports enthusiasts from the Gdańsk Sailing Club, specializing in windsurfing and the Optimists. The importance of daily activity will be explained by instructors from CityFit, who will conduct open fitness classes and competition on rowing ergometers. The referee in the duel will be Cezary Mrozowicz, medalist of the World Championships in the lightweight “eight”.

Watching it while cheering on the little ones in the game will be unique mascots. The Gdańsk Zoo has taken care of such a surprise for the youngest. There will be not only joint frolics, but also an opportunity to “high-five” a llama and a giraffe, compete in a race with a kangaroo, or take a photo with the lion king.

Young and old certainly already feel that sport is health. However, who knows how to put out a fire in the throat and if we have a lemon in our stomach? Who knows for sure how a bee sees? The answers to these and many other questions await the youngest in the world of science in the BayLab – Bayer Better Life zone, from which in a fraction of a second we will be able to move to a world full of adventure in virtual reality, being inside the human body, or hovering like a bee flying over a meadow.

Such a fantastic Children’s Day in Oliwa will end with fun on inflatables loved by the little ones and the most delicious ice cream, which always tastes special on June 1st! The multitude of attractions will surely bring joy and provide great fun, and a smile will stay on the faces of the participants of the event for a long time.

Children’s Day in Olivia was held under the Honorary Patronage of the Mayor of Gdańsk, Aleksandra Dulkiewicz.

In just over 2 weeks, the knockout phase of the 2018/19 season will begin. Who is most likely to make it into the top eight? What is the current form of the teams and who is leading the table?

Although HK Finance is currently at the top of the table, defending champion CityFit will take the lead in the event of a win this week. A full set of points will practically guarantee the CityFit team the first place after the regular season, as HK Finance has already played all their matches in this part of the competition. The two teams recently met in a direct match. After a fierce battle, the match ended in a 4-4 draw, which confirmed the ambitions of HK Finance, who, although they have always been at the top of the league, are still waiting for their first championship.

HK Finance and CityFit teams in action in the top match.

– When it comes to the form of the HK Finance team, the rule is simple – poor before VAT, good after VAT. We are very happy with the level of the leaders, because it promises a fascinating fight for medals. This season, there has been an increase in the level of many teams, who caused surprises in the second half of the competition, taking points away from teams from the top of the table. This is a good omen for the next seasons, close matches increase the attractiveness of the games, making them more interesting and triggering more emotions – says Jakub Piotrowski, captain of the HK Finance team.

Third place in the table is occupied by PwC, who previously won bronze medals, narrowly losing their semi-finals. The team reacted perfectly to the rather unexpected – although there is no sensational here – defeat in the match against Bayer, by beating the revelation of the competition, i.e. the Olivia Business Centre team.

The Olivia Business Centre team is playing its best season and has already secured promotion to the quarter-finals. A few minimal defeats against title contenders could prove to be valuable experience before the most important games. Unfortunately, the team will go into the competition weakened by the absence of one of their best players, Mateusz Szczeciński, who will not return to action until the end of the year due to an injury sustained during the match. Matthew, cheers!

Olivia Business Centre vs PwC.

For the last four places in the semi-finals, it promises to be an exciting battle until the very end. The teams of thyssenkrupp, Lechia Gdańsk Foundation, Bayer, Dream Team Indestructible Energa and CCC still have a chance to advance. It is worth noting that FLG and CCC still have 3 games to play, which may turn out to be a big advantage.

– The form of our team is getting better and better. A few stumbles at the beginning of the season didn’t destroy our belief in getting into the top eight. CCC has its first, historic chance to qualify for the top eight and that goal is the most important thing for us now. After a couple of wins against very strong teams, we showed that we can win against anyone. We are looking forward to the next match – says Patrick Czapski from CCC.

Pass to the striker between the defenders in the penalty area!

The teams of Staples, Ricoh, AirHelp, Pomeranian Regional Chamber of Civil Engineers, Arrow Electronics, Energa Obrót, Pomerania Development Agency and Fujifilm no longer have a chance to advance. Admittedly, the debutants from AirHelp remained in the game for a long time, while injuries and several defeats in a row meant that the dreams of promotion had to be postponed for a year. The series of draws, on the other hand, turned out to be a series of lost points for Energa Obrót, which has been playing in the league since its inception. It’s also worth noting the progress that Staples is making from season to season.

In the 2018/19 season, there are a record 17 teams in the league. League matches are played on Wednesdays and Thursdays in the evenings on a covered pitch with artificial turf at ul. Haller in Gdansk.

– Olivia Sports competitions are becoming more and more attractive every year. I have a very good opinion of the changes introduced by the organizer over the last two seasons, in particular the game with a ball intended for futsal and the withdrawal of players associated in professional leagues from the competition – says Marcin Burakiewicz, captain of the Staples team.

 

Update after matches from 22-23.05:

Before the last games of the group stage, we already know almost all the quarter-finalists. These are CityFit, HK Finance, PwC, Lechia Gdańsk Foundation, Olivia Business Centre, thyssenkrupp, Dream Team Indestructibles Energa. The last place rewarded with promotion is currently occupied by Bayer, which is 2 points ahead of CCC. And it is these two teams that still count in the fight for the quarter-finals – as Bayer has already played all its matches, a victory in the last round over Energa Obrót will allow CCC to be in the top eight. No knockout stage pair is also yet known – here everything will be decided in the last series of games. CityFit is the closest seed to No. 1, but PwC remains in the game.
