Integrational picnics
The Poznawaj project organized a series of international picnics with the aim of bringing people from different countries together and promoting social integration. The picnics took place in various picturesque locations in Poznan, such as Cytadela Park, the Warta River Embankment and a place for firemaking near Warta river “Miejsce na ognisko”.
During the picnics, guests were treated to food and drinks provided by local restaurants and organizations, such as “Surfing Cowboy”, World Central Kitchen and social club “MY”. The picnics also featured musical performances and workshops, where participants had the opportunity to play exotic instruments and sing songs from different cultures.

The picnics were attended by representatives from more than 8 countries, including Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey, Argentina and the Netherlands.
Overall, the Poznawaj project’s international picnics were a great success, providing a platform for people from different backgrounds to come together, enjoy good food, music, and engage in meaningful conversations.
