The Amber Ambassador project aims to promote amber and amber jewellery. Every two years, the Mayor of Gda\u0144sk will present nominations to well-known figures from the worlds of fashion, culture, business and politics, whose task will be to wear amber ornaments, and to inform about its exceptional qualities and related issues. The first nomination was awarded to Lidia Popiel, a well-known photographer, associated with the fashion world for many years, who writes a fashion column in \u201ePi\u0105ta Aleja\u201d.
At a special meeting with journalists, the Mayor of Gda\u0144sk, Pawe\u0142 Adamowicz, and the Mayor's representative for amber, Robert Pytlos, announced the details of this project and the actions taken so far under the Gda\u0144sk Development Strategy until 2015, of which it is also a part. \u201eThere are many stereotypes about amber that we would like to break by showing good design in amber jewellery. We are keen to introduce amber \u201einto high society\u201d. That is why we invited Ms Lidia Popiel to cooperate with us, also counting on some suggestions from her side,\u201d said Mayor Adamowicz.
He also announced the creation of a kind of system of official amber gifts intended to cement Poland's amber image worldwide. An example is the amber bracelet presented to Rod Stewart during this year's concert at the Gda\u0144sk Shipyard, the amber pen given to Lech Wa\u0142\u0119sa during the celebrations marking the 1st anniversary of the Amber Museum, and most recently one for G\u00fcnter Grass on the occasion of his 80th birthday. <\/p>\n

The Amber Ambassador Programme is one of the elements of the Gda\u0144sk Development Strategy up to 2015, the main assumption of which is to strengthen Gda\u0144sk's role as the World Amber Capital. Last year's activities bringing Gda\u0144sk closer to its desired goal included: the establishment of Amber Museum<\/a> and World Amber Council<\/a>, the signing on the initiative of the city authorities of the Gda\u0144sk Declaration on good amber practices. This year, of the utmost importance is the signing by President Adamowicz of the decree of 7 July 2007 regulating the rules for the lease of municipal land for the exploration and extraction of amber \u2013 the first in 35 years. An important role is also played by the Amber Delta cluster project created jointly with the Institute for Market Research. Plans for the near future also include the creation of an inter-faculty jewellery studio at the Gda\u0144sk Academy of Fine Arts under the direction of Dr S\u0142awomir Fija\u0142kowski, a well-known designer and assistant professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. <\/p>\n
