Warsaw Virtual Site Visit - Itinerary
Welcome! Whether you are a student, advisor, or educator, we hope that this virtual site visit will provide you with the opportunity to get to know more about SRAS, our partnership with Civitas University, and the many opportunities for educational programming in Warsaw.
On February 11, we will start at 10:45am EST with a short lecture (approximately 20 minutes with time for discussion), a chance to get an idea of what it is like to study with our team in Warsaw.
“Change is the only constant in International Relations: What shapes the future of Europe?”
Dr. Paulina Piasecka, an expert in the area of international terrorism and cybersecurity, will talk about current events in Central and Eastern Europe. You will look at the changes in the heart of Europe. Together, you will attempt to ask – and maybe answer – the most pressing questions about who’s doing what in this region and the goals of the most influential actors.
We will then transition to a presentation of “Study Abroad in Poland” for another 30 minutes, followed by Q&A.
