I was
greatly impressed by the programme. I have widen my diapason and learnt much
about Poland. Moreover I have met many interesting people from different
countries and could get to know something new about their nations.
We had the
opportunity to experience Szczecin from different points of view and to get
some definitions about the structure of social, political, educational and
commercial institutions. I think I will remember the people, the city and productive
time for a long time. The was no minute for me that was spare in vain! The
visit to the customs influenced upon my vision of relations in such official
offices and treating people in such a pleasant way.

Fourteen days
and millions moments of happiness – it is STP organized by Polites in Szczecin.
We found
new friends from Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Moldova, Russia, without whom it`s
hard to imagine our life now.
STP has
opened for us Poland from different sides. We visited the great variety of organizations:
local government organizations, NGOs, banks, customs, courts, radio and TV
stations, museums, art galleries, theater, etc. It seemed that in day was more
than 24 hours! It was more than great experience; it gave us an inspiration for
development and professional growth. Also as for me extremely interesting were
the visit to the court and custom office, meeting with the advocate that
improve my professional skills. STP brought
to our life a lot of new things: foot quest, making plaster masks, playing
guitar, riding a bicycle, walk up the lighthouse (208 steps), a boat trip on
Odra.
