On the second Saturday of October, an integration meeting took place, as a part of the project \u201cCome2US \u2013 professionalization and centralization of support of the foreign employees of the University of Silesia in Katowice\u201d.<\/p>\n

It was an opportunity to learn about the regional culture in the ethnographic museum \u201ePark Etnograficzny w Chorzowie\u201d, and to sightsee the Nikiszowiec quarter and the city of Katowice.<\/p>\n

We have started our excursion in the Muzeum \u201eG\u00f3rno\u015bl\u0105ski Park Etnograficzny w Chorzowie\u201d.<\/p>\n

Together with our guide we have seen the Cottage from Istebna (dated 1794), the School from Wapienica (dated 1853), the Mill from Imielin, and many other historical buildings. Our guide told us how life of the Silesians of XVIII \u2013 XIX century looked like and all participants had a chance to sit in the village classroom from the XVIII century.<\/p>\n

Then the bus took us to Nikiszowiec \u2013 the picturesque housing development built for miners working in the Giesche (Wieczorek) mine and their families, which was built in years 1908-1915. Nikiszowiec became famous among workers\u2019 quarters and many films about Silesia have been shot there. It was also included in the List of Historic Monuments.<\/p>\n

The third place we visited was a part of Katowice \u2013 a young, diverse city with an interesting urban layout and a heart of over two-million metropolis. Thanks to our guide, we have discovered the original pre-war tenement houses and modernist buildings from the inter-war period when Katowice was the capital of the autonomic Silesian Voivodeship.<\/p>\n

We have closed our excursion by dining at the \u201eKaktusy. Koncept Kulinarny\u201d \u2013 the old-new restaurant. The building in which Kaktusy is situated,at Dworcowa 9, was built at the beginning of the XX century. In the late 50s, Kaktusy became very famous place where manyartists, politicians and dignitaries used to meet . In the years 1919-1920, during the Silesian Uprisings, the building also played an important role as a voting point in the plebiscite.<\/p>\n

It was our third excursion organized by the Welcome Point of the University of Silesia for employees from abroad. We are very glad that together we could experience the culture, share the love for the region, discover historical places and get to know each other. We want to thank all participants of the excursion and we are looking forward to the next one.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″]\r\n
