Owing to the great effort of a couple of ‘Star Trek’ fans form the ### ####### forum society it was possible to organise the very first trek/sociology workshops on the 31 may 2008 in Krakow.

A whole day long happenings enabled us sociology and psychology specialists from two most renowned Krakows Universities to lend us their view on matters of being a fan and fan creative activity. Many discussions took place of which the one over copyright laws turned out to be the most heated. Denise Crosby’s ‘Trekkies’ documentary was the reference point for the debate over some interesting topics like being a hardcore fan, etc. Michał ‘Waterhouse’ Kolanko said a few things about our ‘Horizon’ project and we showed a newly made, still unpublished trailer for the series (that we will make available to watch realy soon). The big culmination was a speech by dr Joanna Heidtman who told us about the psychology behind all the fan creativity.
