Dear ESC Volunteer,

You have just arrived to Poland. Everything is new and exciting: your work at the project, surrounding, language, even the taste of morning coffee. There are so many things you would like to know, so many questions to be answered... Therefore – we kindly invite you to the "On-arrival Training", where you will be able to meet other ESC volunteers who have like you "just landed" in Poland and discover more about the country where you will/ are going to spend next several months of your life...

Can you describe us the current

political

situation

in Poland ?

The exchange focused on presence, perception, and the articulation of contemporary political awareness in public space.
