THE BIGGEST MULTICULTURAL EVENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WARSAW IS BACK!

The Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw, the Students’ Union of the University of Warsaw and Welcome Point would like to invite you to co-create the 3rd edition of a very special event: MIASTECZKO NA STYKU KULTUR – CULTURAL HOT SPOT UW. It will be a showcase of the multicultural potential of our academic community and an opportunity to bring different cultures together.

Cultural HotSpot will take place on MAY 18TH (Thursday) on UW’s main campus (26/28 Krakowskie Przedmieście Street).

If you want to present your country, teach us about its language and customs, the stage is yours! The way you want to show your culture is entirely up to you, all creative ideas are most welcome!

What do we expect from you?

• to have an idea about what you would like to present. Don’t worry, the coordinators of the event will provide space for cultural stands and can help you with some of the supplies. What you need is only enthusiasm and commitment.
• to meet with the Cultural Hot-Spot Coordinator from the Volunteer Centre. During a face-to-face meeting at the VC (Dobra 56/66, University of Warsaw Library Building – BUW), you will be able to consult your ideas for the stand, obtain practical information about the event and ask any burning questions. The meetings will take place in the 2nd half of April and the dates will be set individually to suit the availability of both parties.
• to participate in a multicultural workshop on May 10th (Wednesday) OR 11th (Thursday) from 5 to 7 pm during which you will meet other volunteers creating the Cultural Hot-Spot community. You can choose which date suits you best.
• to be available on May 18th (from late morning till afternoon – the exact hours to be announced soon).

Please note that both the meeting with the Coordinator AND participation in the workshop are OBLIGATORY if you want to participate in the event.
