University of Silesia is present in four cities: Katowice, Chorzów, Sosnowiec and Cieszyn. Cieszyn is significantly further from the remaining three, so we chose it as our destination while organizing another integration meeting in the Welcome2US project.

On the 5th of July our group arrived in Cieszyn not only to sightsee but to play the outdoor game to learn about the city and this part of Silesia really well! Three mysterious persons awaited us at the town hall, and after a short introduction, they led us through the city and made us realize different tasks, thanks to which we could meet each other better and learn to cooperate.

After a few hours, quite tired but happy, we went for dinner and a quick rest. Then, two employees of the Cieszyn faculty of the University of Silesia: the Faculty of Arts and Educational Science, showed us the world of art, lithography, stained glass window creation, and sculpture. We did not know this face of the University of Silesia, and this sightseeing needed to be longer!

We returned to Katowice tired from the adventures and the heat of the day but closer to each other and eager to go for the next integration meetings.

The Outdoor Game „Discover Silesia” in Cieszyn has been organized as a part of the Welcome2US project financed by the National Agency of Academic Exchange.
