IB Polska<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe organization significantly accelerated my adaptation process here. They played a major role in making Krakow feel like home. We conducted many workshops together, and most of them were very helpful to me. My favorite activity was our monthly “Thursday Meetings.” In these meetings, we would evaluate the entire month, sharing our feelings and ideas with each other. Sometimes we met at the office, and sometimes at beautiful spots in the city, enjoying fun activities (as long as it wasn’t -20 degrees outside).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI met great people in Krakow. It was amazing working with the volunteers in my organization. It was a fantastic opportunity to make international friends. Additionally, I explored other cultures and languages. I’m really going to miss them all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
