long-term volunteering
For 7 months I have been
volunteering in Poland, in a very
unique region, called Silesia, with
its unusual language, delicious food
and tons of traditions
Silesia is an industrial
region of Poland, with a
bunch of factories and
mines
In the photos, you can see Katowice,
the biggest city in my voivodeship.
These stylish houses were built for
miners, very important people for
Silesia.
They are called "Familoki" in
Polish if you are interested.
I have these houses just around
the corner too.
I even went on an excursion to see
the biggest familoki group in
Poland once.
Why? How come I, a girl that
was born and lived in the 2nd
biggest city in Europe, and was as
far from industrialization and
mines as it was possible, knows it
and cares about it?
The thing is, for the last 7 months
have been working at a historic
mine here, where we now have a
museum, a cultural, educational
center. And I think we make locals
learn more of their heritage
That's a place I have been volunteering at
What did I do during my
project?
Organized and led PlayDates
in English (and was even
helping with Spanish meetings
too. Too sad that I stopped
taking Spanish classes in
middle school 😭)
The PlayDates were made to help local kids learn a
new language effortlessly and start speaking it with
the help of games
Cooked!
That was incredibly fun to learn about Polish cuisine, cook some
traditional dishes and even create some new, unique ones by combining
Russian and Polish cuisine.
English Speaking Club!
oh wow, look at these thought-
provoking questions we've had
Video Making
Cooked some more?
Yeah, but not only.
I planned and organized cultural
events for locals. And at times,
when we, for example, were
presenting a foreign country, I
would also cook its national dishes
Here we are cooking dolma and ayran
for the Azerbaijani day!
European and national
heritage
European and national
heritage
I have gained new knowledge and skills
needed to be an active citizen and had a
chance to represent European values during
different activities.
organized and
helped with
excursions to
nearby towns,
to other
historical mines
and museums
organized excursions

Wrote questionable blog posts
promoted events on social media
Gdańsk, Sopot, Kraków, Wrocław,
Gliwice, Poronin, Katowice, Brenna,
Jarosław, to name a few
Also, I have traveled
Also, I have traveled
Hungary,
Sweden,
Norway
Spain,
Italy,
Austria
A lot
A lot
have integrated into
the community
And I am about to show you
something I have learned about
Poland and Silesia - some of the local
dishes and funny words in the
Silesian language
Rolada śląska
Krupniok
looks quite weird, huh?
I've made pies with it!
Was super yummy
Moczka
Makówki
You cannot imagine how much I want to try this and moczka. But
these deserts can be found only at Christmas time. A goal: spend
Christmas in Poland and it the best deserts!
Now the Silesian
words!
