Are you living in a University of Warsaw dormitory? Welcome Point invites both international and Polish students to join us for a special 2-part workshop series designed to help you succeed in any shared space!
“From Different Worlds to One Home” is a two-part coaching workshop series designed exclusively for UW dormitory residents – both international and Polish students.
It is focused on enhancing communication, fostering intercultural understanding, and building lasting connections with your fellow dorm residents. Whether you attend one session or both, you’ll gain valuable skills in co-living, self-expression, and group dynamics — all through the principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
Part 1: Understanding, Accepting, Connecting – A Guide for Diversity
Tuesday, April 29 | 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM
How can you stay true to yourself while living in a diverse community? This session focuses on recognising and embracing both cultural and personal differences.
You’ll gain:
- Confidence to be yourself in a diverse group
- Practical tools for integrating into multicultural settings
- A deeper understanding of how people think, act, and feel

Part 2: How to Speak and Be Heard in a Tower of Babel – Communication Based on Needs and Understanding
Tuesday, May 9 | 9:30 AM – 4:30 PM

We’ll practise Nonviolent Communication (NVC) techniques that help build peaceful dialogue, especially in multicultural or high-stress situations.
You’ll gain:
- A stronger sense of safety in being yourself
- Skills to express needs and emotions without conflict
