From Poland to Slovakia - A lecture on the current COVID situation in Poland

  • The idea of international lectures was meant to be a present for students to enrich and diversify their everydayness in the times of pandemic.

    The first lecture was prepared by Monika Mojsiejonek (Poland) for Slovak students. It was embedded in a presentation containing official charts illustrating COVID situation in Poland.

    The presentation is aimed to be a basis for a discussion about different issues connected with COVID and the way Poland tries to deal with it.

     

    In December 2020, Slovak students watched the presentation and wrote some questions about the topic of the lecture (TwinBoard below).

    Here is a file with the answers. Thank you, Slovak students, for your engagement and questions that prove you're really into this topic!
