Ten years have passed since the launch of the international project of organizing children's recreation for KPI employees in Poland - “Children's Poland”, as it is called by the employees of our university. In 2014, our children first became participants in a recreational and educational program organized by the Warsaw University of Technology.
For me, this academic mobility was unexpected, because I applied for the programme through a call for applications, and it happened just a week before the event. However, this spontaneous decision brought me a very useful experience.
"Will there be a children's trip to Poland this year?" This question was among the five most frequent requests to the KPI trade union committee before the start of the recreation season. And it was very pleasing, because it shows the successful experience of previous trips.
