Multicultural meetings at the UW
The yearly event for international students has now been launched again by the Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw. The multicultural meetings are focused on diverse cultures, as well as the Polish language and traditions, that mingle within the UW. Registration is open until 14th October.
Polish and foreign students of various faculties of the University of Warsaw have prepared events that treat multicultural aspects of the Polish language, culture, customs and traditions:
- From Witches to Witcher – Polish Culture Throughout the Centuries
Monday, 17th October at 17:00
During this meeting participants will discover some Polish beliefs, myths and historical contexts from mediaeval times to contemporary days through literature, art and even video games.
The event is followed by the Multicultural Meetings After Hours, which is a kind of a social gathering.
- Polish Language Beginners Kit
Tuesday, 18th October at 17:00
The meeting aims at familiarising international students with essential language tools that could give them an easy start in a new language environment. It is meant to ease them into the nooks and crannies of the Polish alphabet as well as lots of ways of greeting native speakers and making small talk with them.
- Polish Holidays and Traditions
Thursday, 20th October at 17:00
An Applied Linguistics student and a Turkish Studies student will discuss unique customs and traditions that are observed in Poland.
- Let’s get MUSICAL! Polish Musicals Overview
Tuesday, 25th October at 17:00
Participants will learn about the most known Polish musicals and theatre performances. After the presentation everyone is invited to join a karaoke evening to test the gained knowledge of Polish songs in practice.
All the Multicultural Meetings are held in the Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw, which is situated in the University Library building, 56/66 Dobra Street.
Each meeting lasts about 2 hours. English is a language of instruction.
To take part in the events, prior registration is required via an e-mail: wolontariat(at)uw.edu.pl. The e-mail should indicate the meeting of interest.
