The programme will be hosted by the director of ACEC and Roma Spirit producer Magdaléna Rothová and a social inclusion expert Stano Daniel. “I believe, that apart from having fun, the viewer will be inspired,” Stano Daniel said.“When we allow ourselves to see the good and the goodwill to solve issues around us, we will all live a slightly better life”, he added.  The director of the Gala is Lukáš Zednikovič and the music dramaturg is Slavo Solovic.
