The first days in Kraków were a roller-coaster ride of experiences and impressions.

First Week:
We first met in the city center at the giant head. From there, we went to the office.
We spent the first few days getting to know each other, doing administrative work, and exploring the city and Polish culture.
We all loved the zapiekanka, which was a perfect introduction to the delicious Polish cuisine.
Furthermore, we visited the other office as well as the Multicultural Center, which showed us the opportunities available to spend our free time and take part in workshops.
At the weekend, we even had the chance to join the Multicultural Picnic and learn more about different countries and their traditions. Some of us took the opportunity to do crafts and yoga, and in doing so, express our own creativity.
Second Week:
Fortunately, we had a sunny week, which allowed us to spend time outside and explore the Social Garden as well as the Old Town. We also learned more about history by taking a guided tour of Krzysztofory Palace.



In the office, we prepared for the following months by sharing our different skills and talking about our worries and hopes.
We are all looking forward to gaining new experiences and seeing what the future will bring us.
