Usually we are excited about living in a new place, but sometimes we have to face situations that are not pleasant. It is more difficult in a foreign country we do not know. We may have doubts about what to do in a difficult situation and where to seek help. This is why Welcome Point would like to invite you to the next online meeting on crimes motivated by prejudice, which will be led by The Association for Legal Intervention.

Programme of the meeting:

1. Presentation (approx. 45 min)

• what kinds of behavior are bias crimes
• when is the Police obliged to act?
• I fell victim to a crime – and what next?
• my rights and obligations as a victim

2. Practical exercise on descriptions of specific behaviors: is this a crime? (20 min)
3. Questions from participants (25 min)

The meeting in English will be held on 17^th  November at 1.30 pm. To participate, please register here.

Application deadline: 12th November 2020.

Do you ask yourself following questions: Do I need to legalise my stay? How can I do it during a pandemic? We all know that the subject of legalisation of stay in Poland might seem extremely complicated in the beginning! That’s why Welcome Point would like to invite all students for two informational meetings on legal issues concerning residence in Poland.

The meeting will be led by specialists from The Association for Legal Intervention, who professionally provide assistance in legalising the stay of foreigners.

This year’s edition will be held online due to the pandemic.

• Meeting conducted in English: 9^th November 2020, 1:30 pm.
• Meeting conducted in Polish: 10^th November 2020, 1:30 pm.

The programme of both meetings includes:

• Legalisation of residence in Poland (visa, permanent residence permit)
• Differences between student visa and a temporary residence permit
• Procedure of application for a residence permit
• Taking up a job during studies
• Legalisation of stay after obtaining university diploma
• Polish descent and Card of the Pole holders’ rights
• Special solutions for foreigners caused by the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic

Dear Students,

We would like to invite you to the Cultural Orientation at UW workshop, organized by the Welcome Point.

The main goal of this free event is to provide all newcomers with tools that will ease their life in a new place at the very beginning, when help is much needed. However, if you are not a new student but are interested in the topic and the structure of the University of Warsaw still seems complicated to you, feel free to join.

During the workshop we will discuss the following topics:

•       How cultural differences influence daily communication in the academic community.
•       The structure of the University of Warsaw.
•       Communication with academic and administrative staff: dos and don’ts.
•       Studying at the University of Warsaw from a foreigner perspective.
•       Intercultural communication: useful tips and tools.

We are planning two editions of the workshops:

– 28-29  September for first-year long term students of the first-cycle (BA), students of 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd year of uniform master level studies and doctoral candidates
– 1-2 October for long term students of 2^nd and 3^rd year of the first cycle (BA), long term students of the second cycle (MA), long term students of 4^th and 5^th year of uniform master level studies

The workshop will be held online from 10 am. to 1:30 pm.

Cultural Orientation Workshop at UW (1– 2 of October) is organized within the Integrated Development Programme at the University of Warsaw and is funded by European Social Fund.
