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.

Alumni integration trip to the Nida River, September 16-18, 2022
On September 16-18, 2022, members of our Association met for an integration trip. This time we came to the Świętokrzyskie region, and more specifically to the Nida basin.
During the whole stay, we were hosted by the agritourism farm “Sabat” in Imielno. It was our starting point throughout our stay and a place for shared meals, meetings and fun. The stay program was very rich. And it was taken care of by Wojciech Sołtysiak (IVLP, 2013) – member of the team “Life4Delta – restoration of the inland delta of the Nida River”.
It all started on Friday afternoon, when we met around a barbecue and campfire. With good food and various drinks, we spent time late at night, chatting long.
