The Experience

We organize sponsored cultural exchange programs in Poland with board and lodging covered. As an English speaker participant, you will get to stay in a beautiful Hotel in Poland for 6-21 days and meet our local participants through a series of conversations and fun activities (games. city tours, etc. ). You are not expected to teach formally, but rather be a partner in conversation while having a multicultural experience.

The hotelis a very rewarding programme, despite being very full on, with long days, it is enjoyable and each day brings new discussions and experiences with a variety of interesting people! I would definitely recommend this programme to fellow travellers :)

The hotelwas certainly a very important experience for my personal growth, but unfortunately I can't say that the program is perfect, starting with the non-compliance working time. In the wp app says it's 5 hours of work daily and 5 days a week, that's not true. Activities start from Sunday till Saturday from 9am till 9-10pm, even with some breaks it can be exhausting after few weeks in a row. Another important thing to note is the fact that after finishing one program on Saturday we must to pay overnight accommodation by our own expense, even if you will start another program in Sunday.

Being able to experience the Polish culture and impacting kid's lives was amazing. It also helped me, as an introvert, to get out of my shell. The program is well structured but a bit tiring as you will be doing activities all day (it starts at 9am and finishes at 9pm with pauses in between for resting and eating) The accomodation is good with a shared room and the food is also nice, trying to respect vegetarian and vegan diets. The downside is that you will have to pay for everything between venues (programs start on Sunday and finishes on Saturday so this night is on you).

He de decir que a pesar de ser 70hrs semanales en vez de 25hr ha sido una experiencia muy gratificante donde se me ha cuidado incluso estando mala teniendo a disposición una enfermera en los diferentes campamentos de verano. Altamente recomendado, calidad en la comida, sueño, instalaciones, compañeros etc.
