July, 20, Wednesday. Through a Wrocław window one can see the typical sky – a little bit of sun, some clouds.

A big number of them came to Wrocław during the last  few days. Today one thing is sure – all the declared groups are going to arrive. Colombians, Canadians, French and Spanish came today to the Lower Silesia capital city. They are spending their evening at schools or with their hosting families, having the...

Starting Australia via Rome to Wrocław. Read the article!

Jul 20, 2016

The journey lasted for 32 hours. Was it worth it? Read an interview with two Australians and get to know what they think of Wrocław and how they cope with the Polish language.    Most of the pilgrims won’t arrive in Wrocław until today to celebrate the Days in Dioceses. However, a few groups have stayed at our place since Monday. Yesterday evening a group of thirty four happy and energetic Australians arrived. What’s interesting, the group consisted only of girls. They are lodged in the Convent of School Sisters of Notre Dame. I have managed to talk to Mirabel...

They charmed with enthusiasm

Jul 19, 2016

Three Panama groups are staying in three different places in Wrocław. Today one of them, hosted by st. Joseph the Craftsman parish was sightseeing, guided by Aneta Skórnicka. As she informs, the youth has charmed the Wrocław people with their openness. „They were starting small talks in the buses and with the passers-by on the streets.” – says Aneta – „They were taking pictures one after another.” Thirty Panamanians visited the most beautiful city areas today. From the parish they set off by foot to the National Museum, later to Ostrów Tumski and to the marketplace. The pilgrims could see st. Mary Magdalen’s church and the Bridge of the Witches. For lunch they had a traditional polish dish – bigos with compote. Many were surprised with the quantity of served bread. Now they are visiting a second Panama group, accommodated at school in Księże Małe. Another foreign guests are still coming to Wrocław. Canadian, Australian and Brazilian groups are going to join the number of Wrocław pilgrims. Teresa Grabiec   See the gallery: Panama and France Australia and Kanada...

On 18 July, about 5.00 pm a group of 100 young Colombians arrived to Wrocław from Bogotá, their capital city. In oncoming days another pilgrims from the north­west part of South America will arrive to our city, where there are going to experience the first stage of World Youth Days – Days in Dioceses. Near the Divine Providence parish, Colombians were welcomed by photojournalists from Wrocław Preparation Department . “The volunteers were charmed by the visitors’ openness and joyful attitude. Every single person leaving the plane was greeting us with a happy <<dzień dobry>> (good afternoon­ trans. note)“ ­says Klara Stryjewska, a photojournalist. “The visitors were amazingly open, nobody was scared, everyone wanted to take a picture with us.” ­ she continues laughing. While interviewing the visitors, Magdalena Juda was amused by one Colombian’s question: “Does polish weather always look this way? We were expecting summer here…” Colombians have also prepared some gifts for the greeting volunteers: regional sweets and wrist stripes with Colombia’s national colours. Poles returned the favour with Michałki.     Teresa Grabiec...
