There are never enough Polish language courses! Of course, that’s because they’re so great, and that’s why there are so many eager participants! We direct our efforts towards people who want to learn the Polish language, sometimes starting from scratch, sometimes continuing their studies. We offer regular courses from level A0 to B1 and prepare students for the state examination at the B1 level. We also have conversational clubs for intermediate and advanced learners where we practice speaking and meet new people. The informal and joyful atmosphere allows us to work together not only on improving Polish language skills but also on the well-being of our participants and instructors. At MIP, we have three permanent instructors: Julia, Marta, and Alicja, but we also collaborate with many other experienced instructors.

Of course, the biggest challenge is “how to get into a course?” First and foremost, you need to sign up through the link on our website (link) to join the waiting list. Several times a year, we send an email invitation to specific courses to the entire waiting list at the same time. And then, the rule is first come, first served! You should quickly fill out the registration form from the email. Then, there will be a short phone conversation during which we assess the language level of those who have signed up and assign them to the appropriate group. Our classes usually start in January, April and September, but sometimes we have additional courses. The groups are divided into Slavic and non-Slavic-speaking. In this division, it’s all about the first, native language, not the language the students know. We cordially invite you to our courses!

The Integration Initiatives Teams in Migrant Info Point is dedicated to organizing events that bring together migrants and the local population. We arrange events, meetings, workshops, language and sports classes, as well as trainings for all age groups and nationalities.

Our main goal is the integration of individuals from different parts of the world with Polish people. Participants take part in activities we propose, such as English classes, relaxing fitness sessions, and handicraft workshops. By participating in these free initiatives, participants not only make new acquaintances and form friendships but also acquire useful skills and competencies.

Integration initiatives also offer an excellent opportunity for professional development. Through volunteering at Migrant Info Point, our volunteers have the chance to pursue their passions and spread their wings. They can also test themselves in new situations and contribute to the local community.

Mentoring involves assisting newcomers in the country to adapt and integrate into the local community. Mentoring can truly help people who find themselves in a new environment and need to navigate a new life in another country.
The mentoring program at Migrant Info Point has been operating since 2015.

Each mentee is paired with a trained volunteer mentor whose task is to support and assist the mentee in their integration journey. Together, they will set goals and work towards them for a period of 3-6 months.

There are four main goals of mentoring relationships with migrants:

• Expanding opportunities – for example, assisting in finding employment, education, or training.
• Increasing knowledge – such as language proficiency, navigating the city, or finding food from their “home country.”
• Receiving support – for instance, reducing isolation, expanding social networks, and building self-confidence.
• Challenging assumptions – like discussing cultural differences and getting to know each other’s lives and experiences.

These actions contribute to both newcomers and residents feeling like part of a strong local community that is open, accepting, and vibrant!

Have you just arrived in Poznań? Or maybe you have been living here for some time, but have questions related to daily matters (such as how to register with a clinic, what is the PEKA card, what options you have for driver’s license exchange, and many others), or maybe you want to submit documents for a residence card? Questions regarding residence and work legalization are definitely the most common ones, but not the only ones you can come to us with. During consultations, we will gladly support you in getting acclimated to your new place. If the scope of the consultation requires it, we will arrange a meeting with our lawyer for you! Remember, all our services are free of charge!
