Before I moved to Wrocław to study Intercultural Mediation, I thought that this city was similar to others and that this specialisation was just like many other studies. I could not have been more wrong! The Intercultural Mediation programme equipped me with not only high quality theoretical knowledge, which broadened my horizons, but also with a number of practical skills! I learnt to cooperate in the international environment and run intercultural negotiations – today I use these skills in my work
with clients from Asia as a purchase specialist in LPP, the largest Polish clothing company. I learnt to apply qualitative and quantitative research methods, which facilitate the evaluation of projects – currently I use them to evaluate assistance projects in my work with two non-governmental organisations. Wrocław turned out to be an amazing place with lots of fascinating stories and excellent cafés, where you may learn and meet friends as well as fantastic places to have a rest and fun. The time spent in Wrocław during my studies was a priceless experience.
