Place: Poznan, Poland – Check out our latest photo album!

Poland, once a major European power from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, was invaded in the eighteenth century by the Russian, Prussian and Austrian empires. The country disappeared from the map of Europe. Poznan, often called the first capital of Poland, became part of Prussia and later, Germany. A center of Polish culture and national identity, Poznan is a dynamic city with a rich multicultural past.
We will arrive in Berlin and travel to Poznan by train. Here are a few websites with details about the city we will be visiting:

Poznan – WordPress blog

Poznan – Virtual Tourist

Polish Online Forum

Goal

We will introduce students to Polish culture and social policies and practices that address disenfranchised, stigmatized and disempowered social groups. The course will encourage students to understand how Poland’s recent political and economic transformation has affected society in general and, especially, marginalized groups. The course will focus on how Polish society addresses problems of poverty, homelessness, aging, domestic violence and mental health disorders.

Travel Considerations

The weather will be similar to late winter/early spring in Cleveland. Poznan is a typical Polish city. The streets are filled with pedestrians making their way to work, shops, restaurants, cafes and clubs. Public transportation is excellent, but you will be able to walk to many destinations. Choose comfortable, warm, water-resistant shoes.

Hotel

Students will be housed in double rooms in the “Jowita” student dormitory near the Adam Mickiewicz University.

What to Bring

If you plan on using any electrical equipment in Poland, you will need a power converter (from 220V to 110V).

Food

Breakfast and lunch will be available in “Jowita.” Dinner will be based on our evening plans.

Money

A dinner at a nice restaurant on your own will cost anywhere from $15 to $50, but you will find many cheaper casual cafes and restaurants with very good food. Every $1 = about 3 Polish zloty (read: zwoty).

Program Schedule

Our program was designed in cooperation with the Institute of Sociology at the University of Poznan. See the following websites for more information:

Adam Mickiewicz University

Wydzial Nauk Spolecznych
