Polish team was consisted of five girls: Julia, Magdalena, Marianna, Natalia and Zofia which represented ECIM and Poland in general. Polish group held strong informative workshop (more than 4 hours) about human rights. We prepared energizers, quiz, presentation and involved participants in a group work. During Polish evening we presented typical Polish food and traditional clothes which we brought from home. Participants’ enjoyed the most reading Polish words by foreigners. Everybody had a lot of fun!
