I learned so much from what Konstanty Gebert shared about the European Union, and I'll be interested to keep my eyes and ears open to hear what I can about the Polish perspective on the EU and what's been happening in the UK and France.
Our next session on the economic climate of Poland enlightened me that Poland has such a strong economy, and has endured quite some hardship, but has come out very strong business-wise and financially. I'd love to know more about specific industries and how they strategized getting through hardships such as the economic crisis of 2008.
I was looking least forward to our session on Polish history, but found it to be the most interesting to me. I was fascinated by how much the Polish borders have shifted throughout the years, and would love to hear how that's effected businesses, particularly in media. I'm also interested to hear how media survived the holocaust in Poland. Similarly, how Polish culture changed throughout this tumultuous history - what the Polish people have clung to, and what new customs they have adopted.
Concerning the reading I've done, I'm also interested to visit the Polish radio station, and hear about how Polish radio has been effected by the history of the country, and how it operates today.
It's very interesting that so much media was banned during the holocaust, I would love to know how that has had an effect on the country.
More than anything, I can't wait to see what the people are like, and how much fun we'll have :)
