Diverse Warsaw – let's get to know the city’s less-known side

Are you studying or working in Warsaw and are 18-24 years old? We invite you to join a unique course that will offer a space for meetings with other people your age. It will also provide an opportunity to learn about the multicultural aspects of the city. We will discuss diversity within the city, we will get to know one another and spend time together in a creative fashion.

We invite young people aged 18-24. We especially encourage young persons with migration experience. Classes will be conducted in Polish. During meetings, people ready to support you, if necessary, with any potential language difficulties will be present.

The starting point for our talks will be meetings at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, The Museum of Warsaw, The Praga Museum of Warsaw and the Ukrainian House. Together with the experts from the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw, we will visit Park Bródnowski. We will also get acquainted with the activities of the Multicultural Center in Warsaw. Thanks to these meetings, we will build new relations with the city and mutual relations within the group.

Free classes will be held on: 17, 19, 24, 27 and 31 May in museums, the Ukrainian House, and in the city.

For those interested, in July, we also plan a one-day trip to Łódź where—during an interactive workshop—we will reveal some of the city’s multicultural spots. POLIN Museum covers travel costs on the Warsaw-Łódź-Warsaw route.

Due to group work involved, it is designed as a whole cycle, so you will not be able to join selected classes only.

Meeting dates:

  • 17 May 2023 (Wednesday) at 4PM-7PM
  • 19 May 2023 (Friday) at 4PM-6PM
  • 24 May 2023 (Wednesday) at 4PM-6PM
  • 27 May 2023 (Saturday) at 3PM-7PM
  • 31 May 2023 (Wednesday) at 4PM-6PM
  • July: optional participation in a one-day trip to Łódź (date to be agreed upon with the group)
