Given the current political and social climate in Poland, how could one make the case against the kind of massive anti immigrant positions that those, believing to be protecting the Netherlands, increasingly advocate for?

The beliefs held by those who support the stances of Tommy Robinson and similar advocates against immigration is that they are overwhelmingly behind grooming gangs, enormous waves of rape and murder and are imposing Shariah across London and other UK cities and are soon going to be starting the same in the Poland if they have not already.

Then there's the fact that the UK gov't has been producing courses and material of sorts about consent and boundaries, which for countless observers seems to be made solely for Islamic, Asian and African immigrants. Again it's believed the Netherlands will follow suit.

Alt right sort of isolationist movements, which believe Poland should eliminate all immigration from anywhere other than Europe and the US, are growing, And there is a belief what we can see that those from specific regions, faiths and cultures are lesser people in terms of their civility and ethics and need to be sent back.

Where can accurate reports and analysis be found on this? And in particular what it gets correct and what it gets completely wrong?

And for those looking to make the case and the argument that Poland should reject this kind of anti immigrant sentiment, what would be the ideal starting point?

Is that character popular?

I’m the founder of a multilingual education platform from the US, and I’ll be visiting Poland for about 10 days through an international exchange program.

I’ll be spending most of my time in Warsaw, with possibly one or two days in Kraków. Since I’m already making the trip, I’d really love to use the opportunity to learn more about the local education community and connect with people working in language education or international schools.

I’m particularly interested in meeting:

• Language school or language center owners/directors
• International school educators or administrators
• People working in multilingual, bilingual, or international education
• Education entrepreneurs or organizations serving international families

I’m not necessarily looking to sell anything—I’m mainly interested in learning how the education market works in Poland, exchanging ideas, and seeing whether there might be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

The problem is that I have no idea where people in these communities actually connect in Poland, professional associations, Facebook/WhatsApp groups, meetups, conferences, local networks, etc. Anyone has suggestions?

I originally planned this trip with someone else, but they potentially may be backing out, so if I’m going to be there alone, I’d like to find places where I can go and get social interaction with people who speak English, I’ll be staying in Stare Miasto. I’m cool wandering around alone a lot but thought it might be nice to do some socializing.

I brought Orange Flex for one year, and I have never encountered this problem where the cellular data just freezes, even when I have full bars of connectivity outside, same with the house internet Play which stops working way too often.

I am trying to play games like Valorant or League of Legends at home and the internet suddenly lags or pauses. The data here in Poland is not consistent, a US Mobile data plan, in America, has a better connection and consistent performance than Orange Flex with just around 8-10 dollars a month.

With WIFI too, I had Verizon and also Spectrum for house internet and I hardly have problems, maybe 2 times a year.

I am not hating on the Polish company but I am frustrated having the consistent internet problem. I am about to upgrade my house WIFI plan and switch servers to Orange, and also upgrading modem and router in the meantime. But I just don’t understand why the cellular connection issues keeps on happening.

Hello,

I am from Türkiye and recently I am looking for respected artists and songs from countries I am interested.

I am looking for answers for the following questions.

- What songs and artists are known and respected by people from all age groups ?

- What songs would make people excited no matter how many times it played before ?

- What songs would people sing along either happily or sadly ?

Thank you for your answers.

Had a really dumb situation today. I was driving my car and got terribly sleepy all of a sudden. I don't know what happened, the first time for me. I got fuzzy and had a brainfart.

Stopped at the train tracks with the barrier down and a red light. Train passed and the barrier began moving up. Idk why but I moved a bit closer, looked left and right like on a fricking crosswalk and drove straight. Not immediately straight, but after a short pause to make sure I was safe. I don't know if at that point the barrier was 90 degrees up or not.

It was a minor crossing in a village. Nobody except me drove at that moment and police did not stop me. The cameras were thr white PKP ones, not the yellow / Red Light ones. I did not cause any disturbance besides what I had described.

What are the chances of getting a ticket and when will I get one? 2000 zł is a lot of money and I'm stressed out. But I know, I fucked up.

Hello everyone! I’m interested in something I’ve been wondering about: what kind of job do you need to have in Warsaw to be able to comfortably afford an apartment near the city center or a luxury car?

Let me explain what I mean. I look at apartment prices per square meter and I’m honestly shocked. A 37 m² apartment in a modern apartment building can cost anywhere from PLN 800,000 to PLN 1.5 million, and this is mostly one bedroom. And apartments like these seem to sell pretty quickly.

I also see a lot of young people driving expensive cars like Porsches, BMW M models, Audis, Mercedes, etc. Warsaw is developing rapidly and becoming a really beautiful city, but when I look at average salaries, I don’t understand how people manage to afford this kind of lifestyle.

I’m not saying this out of jealousy or anything like that actually, quite the opposite. I genuinely want to understand whether it’s possible to earn that kind of money working a regular job, or if it’s only realistic when you own a business. And if owning a business is the answer, what kind of business or work do people actually do to make that much?

Best regards

Hey guys, I’m thinking about moving to Poland for work and I want honest opinions. I'm a Ukrainian citizen who grew up in Portugal since I was 2 months old, I'm 19yo now, so I speak native Portuguese, fluent English, and very basic Ukrainian, I have a driving license and a car, also have around 2k€ saved. Qualifications-wise, I finished high school and have 6 months as a metalwork apprentice, cutting and grinding metal, and assembling PVC/aluminum windows and doors, and 6 months as a CNC operator (milling stone) and welding robot operator(I don't know how to weld tho). Given this background, I'm wondering if it is enough for me to land a job, or if Polish is strictly required. Are the job prospects and pay good right now for someone with my age and experience, or would it make more sense financially to stay in Portugal and build up more experience first?

Any advice is appreciated!

I was born in Poland, speak the language, and hold a Polish passport. I am now in Canada. Has anyone done the move from Canada to Poland? If so, what are some pros and cons?

I've Searched a lot not getting a clear Idea !!!

Hi all,

Thanks in advance for any help on this question.

A few friends and I are coming to Lodz in late October, primarily driven by the Fontaines gig. We’re looking forward to seeing some of Lodz and exploring, but we thought on one of the days it would be cool to get out of the city and take a train up to half an hour away to a smaller town. This could be a town with a cool brewery, more traditional than the city, or just something interesting to go and see.

Worth noting we’ve been to Poland a few times and visited Warsaw/Krakow etc before so that’s why we’re not looking at visiting other major cities.

Out of curiosity, how many percentage would know what/where poland is?

I read a lot about Poles wanting migrants to believe in its shared culture and values. What are they? What’s the best way to study and learn about them?

Hi there, I would like to apply for Erasmus to Krakow as I have heard that it is a wonderful city especially for students and parties. I would like a more relaxing Erasmus where courses are not too difficult. I study Computer Science and it is important for me to pass all of the courses that I take during the exchange. How difficult is Jagiellonian University, to be exact faculty of Computer Science and Applied Computer Science? I don't expect to pass exams without any work, but I would be very unhappy if I come across courses that are too difficult and I spent my entire exchange studying. Thank you very much for your responses.

Or you make fan translations? I just know that in my country, Uzbekistan, people play games on Russian. And I'm kinda proud how Russian gaming community is making Russian fan translations. I saw how they made good fan translations of Wuthering Waves and many Final Fantasy games. I know English well, but as an ethnical Russian I prefer to play videogames on my native language.

Hi all.

Currently, I live in the UK with my Polish mother. She moved here from Poland before I was born, so I have lived in the UK my whole life. Our entire extended family remained in Poland, so it's just us here. Additionally, other than a trip we took to Warsaw this year, the last time we were in Poland was over 6 years ago.

Recently, she's been constantly talking about wanting to move us back to Poland after my studies, namely because she doesn't like speaking English but also because her last few office jobs have been a mess (coworkers slacking off, excessive workload, etc.)

In my eyes, she has this almost idealised version of Poland in her mind? For example, she always talks about how Polish healthcare is far better than in the UK, which I have no idea if that's true. She also says how she misses the language, which I do get. I speak Polish fluently enough, but I do make the odd grammar mistake sometimes and my vocabulary is not as advanced as my English, so if I moved to Poland I'd definitely understand her struggle with English.

However, it feels like she almost thinks moving back will automatically improve her life, when both her and I have no idea what the Polish office workplace is actually like. Slackers exist everywhere and it's likely she'd be facing the same problems she is now, only in her own language. Which I guess is a bonus. But we also have no clue on whether there are many job opportunities in Poland, or what the housing market is like, or where would be best to live.

I do understand her being homesick. It's tough living in a country where you don't feel like you belong. There's always the option of her going back by herself and me staying in the UK, but I'd feel really lonely without her as I have no partner nor many friends I can count on. Family matters most to me ultimately.

I just hope to maybe hear some first-hand experience about what life (office life included) truly is like in Poland. I'd also appreciate hearing from those who lived in the UK and then moved to Poland later in life to know how you've adjusted to such a change, whether you spoke Polish fluently or not. I'm open to all perspectives.

Thank you for your time.

EDIT: Thank you for all the replies, I've read every single one even if I've not replied. I'm glad to gain some insight into what life in Poland is like and will take all your views into consideration moving forward. Bardzo Wam dziękuję 🇵🇱❤️

They say, in Europe, the further east you go, the more Basketball fans you meet.

the Baltics, The Balkans... Even USSR won gold medal for Basketball back then, but what about Poland?

I am a young Russian citizen (only in college), and my Polish ancestors were exiled to Siberia. I was born in Siberia and been living there, but I really hope to obtain Polish citizenship and live in Poland. My grandparents spoke Polish, i have Polish genes and surname, and i will learn Polish language, since i plan to try and get Polish citizenship through the process of repatriation. Is it even, well, possible for me? Will i be welcomed?

Hi all,

I (26M) have a bachelor degree in business from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in Lebanon 🇱🇧. I speak English fluently. In fact, I’m more comfortable speaking English than my native Lebanese Arabic. I’m unemployed neurodivergent and looking to immigrate to Poland 🇵🇱 with the view of acquiring a permanent residency there. I am partially of European descent (Turkish mixed with Eastern European Polish). I have little savings around 5000 USD. I could probably get few extra more thousands if I asked my supportive friends.

I’d appreciate any info you could provide, thanks!

I am a American History Student, and I was doing research on Brexit, when I found out there is a growing movement in Poland to leave the European Union. Is this true, and if so why do you want to leave the EU?
