During our time there, we had the chance not only to learn, but also to explore and discover this beautiful and historic city. One of the most memorable parts of our experience was learning about the legends of Toru\u0144 \u2013 especially the touching story of the love between a tower and the river. According to this legend, the city got its name \u201cToru\u0144,\u201d which means \u201cto fall,\u201d symbolizing the sorrow of a love that could not be fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-960x720.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4896\" style=\"width:347px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-960x720.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-595x446.jpeg 595w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-120x90.jpeg 120w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-1140x855.jpeg 1140w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru-552x414.jpeg 552w, https:\/\/ib-polska.pl\/youth\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/toru.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The training itself was intense and enriching.
