Discover Miasteczko na styku kultur – Cultural Hot Spot UW!
On 17/05/2019, at the University of Warsaw, you could talk to representatives of several countries and cultures, try flavors from different parts of the world, take part in workshops, meetings and discussions. All this in one day and in one place during the Cultural Hot Spot UW!
The organizers of the event were the Board of the Students' Council of the University of Warsaw together with Welcome Point UW and the University Volunteer Centre. During the event, which took place on May 17 at the Main Campus of the University of Warsaw, from 10: 30-18: 00 it was possible to:
- meet with representatives of students’ organizations as well as with foreign students of UW who presented cultures of their countries (e.g. Belarus, Bhutan, China, Japan, Nigeria, Rwanda, Turkey, Spain, Ukraine, Vietnam) take part in workshops, displays, and conversations;
- participate in the set of debates and meetings with special guests who raised subjects such as: international voluntary service, traveler’s ethics, ways to travel;
- taste cuisines from different corners of the world in the food-truck area.
This was the first edition of our event and, as head of the Welcome Point, Katarzyna Basisty, says:
“It is the answer to needs of students who come to the University from all over the world. They want to show us their countries and cultures that shaped them. They have loads of positive energy to share so let’s learn from them!”.
At the UW there are more than 4 800 international students and PhD candidates. Ukrainians and Belarusians constitute the largest groups. There are also many students from Spain, Italy and China.
