On September 25-27, 2024, in Warsaw, we organized a 3-day orientation meeting for 2024-25 Fulbright U.S grantees to Poland. Throughout this academic year, they will conduct research and/or engage in didactic activities at various higher education institutions in Poland. And right before, on September 23-24, all 10 Fulbright English Teaching Assistants (ETA) additionally participated in the series of two-day methodological workshops aimed at preparing them to teach English as a second language at Polish higher education institutions.
During these several days our incoming American grantees spent in Warsaw, they had a chance to participate in numerous information sessions and workshops conducted by Fulbright staff; take part in the traditional Polish dance workshops; try out some specialities that constitute the bedrock of Polish cuisine; as well as learn some practical tips on everyday life in Poland from both Polish and American alumni. The orientation meeting was also a fantastic opportunity to get to know one another better, individually and as a cohort, and a stepping stone in expanding further the Fulbright community.
Our official welcome reception for 2024-25 U.S grantees was organized in Warsaw by the US Embassy at the Residence of the Deputy Chief of Mission, Daniel Lawton.
After months of preparations and awaiting the new cohort of American grantees, we are thrilled to have finally met most of them in person and we are glad we could help them orient themselves in the first days of their stay in Poland. We wish all our Fulbrighters a fantastic academic year ahead. We hope that the year in Poland will be a joyful and an unforgettable experience that will stay with them long after the end of their grants.
