Read MoreAmerican Debates 2.0
It was the second time that we had the opportunity to implement a project under the common title “American Debates“. We discussed contemporary America, and more specifically, international, military and economic policy pursued by the US government, or US relations with other countries, including Poland in particular. We invited specialists, scientists and journalists to the discussion, who shared their knowledge and opinions. All content can be viewed on our Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube channels.
The “American Debates” project was implemented thanks to the financial support of the US Embassy in Warsaw.
“Profession” series continued
We continue the project under the common title: “Profession“.
“Profession” is a series of interviews with members of the Alumni Association, whose professional life is related to a profession that cannot be pigeonholed into an 8-hour office day, requires a lot of commitment and own initiative, and is associated with far-reaching self-discipline. We will try to bring the listeners closer to the backstage of these professions, talk about their positive and negative aspects, show the changeability of the profession over the years, related to, for example, the development of modern technologies.
“My American Experiences” series
We continue the series of interviews under the common title: “My American Experiences“.
As part of this project, we invite personalities of Polish public, social, economic, cultural and political life who were participants in the programs of the US Department of State (including the Fulbright Program, IVLP, Edward R. Murrow Program, Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program and other). We will ask guests about their experiences in the US and the impact of these experiences on their public life, professional or scientific career.
