The new academic year is about to begin. Studies are supposed to be one of the most beautiful times in life of every person. As we all know, the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic thwarted our plans and not every international student will be able to start his adventure with our University in Poland. We understand that this time may seem strange and difficult, especially for those who will study remotely from their home countries,
That is why Welcome Point UW is organizing Cultural Orientation at UW Practical Workshops. The main goal of this free event is to provide all newcomers with tools that will ease their life in a new place at the very beginning, when help is much needed. However, if you are not a new student but are interested in the topic and the structure of the University of Warsaw still seems complicated to you, feel free to join.
During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:
- How cultural differences influence daily communication in the academic community.
- The structure of the University of Warsaw.
- Communication with academic and administrative staff: dos and don’ts.
- Studying at the University of Warsaw from a foreigner perspective.
- Intercultural communication: useful tips and tools.
The workshop will take place online and will last two days, from 10 am. to 1:30 pm.
Please note that there is no possibility of attending only a part or only one day of the workshop.
