Pillar-programme of Pécs2010 European Capital of Culture
24 July - 31 July
14th International Culture Week in Pécs  
Tamás Bocz
host boss and financial manager


I was born in Pécs, in 1980. I got my degree of business and economics at the University of Pécs in 2004. The spirit of ICWiP reached me during my university years, I joined the team as a host in 2002. Then I became organizer of the event in 2003, and I was operative main organizer between 2004 and 2007.

I have a “non-ICWiP” job of being financial director at the Pécs2010 Management Centre (for the European Capital of Culture programme) that has made me unable to work continuously with ICWiP. Since 2007 I have been coordinating the hosts and hostesses, and also financial matters of the culture week.

Do you want to know, why I keep “losing” two weeks of my summer for 7 years now? The answer is simple: I love this swift and dynamic, and at the same time creative and intellectual festival with all its challenges and work attached!  Those that have already participated know what I am talking about. Those that just think of coming – Please believe me when I tell you it is worth coming, without ICWiP your summertime experience would be incomplete.

Let’s meet this summer at ICWiP!
