     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.
