Worth joining
Get ready for a journey — though not a typical tourist trip! This will be a deeper dive into Polish culture. We’ll peel back the layers as we explore the symbols, heroes, rituals, and values that shape life in Poland. Here, you’ll learn about communication styles and social customs. We’ll also cover important Polish holidays and cultural contexts to enrich your understanding of local traditions and make your stay in Poland more conscious and fulfilling.
Whether you want to avoid cultural missteps or simply understand your new surroundings better, this workshop will be your guide to Polish culture. It’s also a great way to kickstart your university experience and connect with fellow students!
