Do you live or study in Warsaw, and you are between 16 and 22 years old? You know Warsaw as you know the back of your hand or you are just starting your acquaintance with her? Then we invite you to take a unique course that will create a space for exploring the city and cross-cultural meetings!
- November 18, 2022 (Friday) at 3:00 PM-8:00 PM
- November 25, 2022 (Friday) at 3:00 PM-5:00 PM
- December 2, 2022 (Friday) at 3:00 PM-7:00 PM
- December 9, 2022 (Friday) at 3:00 PM-8:00 PM
The main theme of the cycle will be Warsaw places, which we will open from non-obvious sides. We will discuss a multicultural city, gain experience, learn, and spend creative time together.
We especially invite people aged from 16 to 22 years with migration experience. Classes will be conducted in Polish. Meetings will be accompanied by people who, if necessary, will support us in all possible language difficulties.
The course will not only allow you to get acquainted with places that are important for Warsaw's identity, but also create a space for new acquaintances and joint discussions. The starting point for conversations will be meetings at the POLIN Museum of the history of Polish Jews, the Museum of Warsaw, Warsaw`s Printing Museum and the Praga Museum of Warsaw. Participation in the course will also be an opportunity to get to know better the activities of the Ukrainian house in Warsaw and activists of the Hillel Warsaw organization.
It is designed as a whole cycle, so you will not be able to join only some classes.
Here you will find a detailed course schedule >>
