Poland Starter Pack
A 4-part training series for expats living and working in Poland
You can join one session, or take them in order for the full impact. Each session is 2 hours long, interactive, and available online or in person.
Session 1
Pole Position: Speaking Up, Tuning In, Understanding Polish Style
Why does your directness (or lack of it) land differently here? What does “rude” really mean in Poland? This interactive session unpacks communication norms and cultural codes—plus a few lightbulb moments about your own habits too.
You’ll learn how to speak so you’re better understood—and how to understand what’s not always said out loud. We’ll cover must-know Polish phrases, key social signals, and surprising insights about everyday interactions. From decoding humor to navigating feedback, this session gives you tools to build real connections and avoid classic expat missteps.
Session 2
Poles Apart: Not Just Castles and Communism
How do geography and history shape Polish mentality today? Why are some topics sensitive, and how does the past still shape people’s choices and beliefs?
This session offers a fast but meaningful dive into Poland’s emotional landscape and living history. From survivor mentality to seasonal mindset shifts, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on how people relate, what they remember, and how to feel more at home—plus practical travel and seasonal tips that help you explore the country with insight, not just curiosity.
Session 3
A Polished Legacy: The Beauty in Layers
Why does your coworker quote poets? Why does nostalgia feel so present in everyday life here? And what can design, language, and jokes reveal about how a nation sees itself?
This session is a curated walk through the culture’s artistic and emotional DNA—from Polish posters to music, architecture, and untranslatable phrases. You’ll learn how the past is carried into the present, and how humor, aesthetics, and silence can speak volumes. Perfect for those who want to go beyond surface-level observations and start seeing the beauty behind the contradictions.
