“Students from Poland, Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, China and Japan live here like a big family” Maciej Bartoszyk told me. He lives in Lublin and studies here media and journalism at the WSPA University. It was a cold snowy day, as I arrived in Lublin to hold lectures and seminars about radio production at the WSPA University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A city and university with diverse cultural influences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My hotel is situated in Dom na Podwalu, placed closely to an old monastery school adjacent to the historical Castel. The Castel with a tower erected in the Middle Ages dominates the city landscape from the top of the Castel Hill. The atmosphere is majestic and the architecture monumental. Behind my hotel the Stare Miasto (eng. the Old Town) is located where one can find the birthhouse of the famous violinist Henryk Wieniawski, the Krakower Gate and many other historical buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the new part of Lublin, surrounded by modern buildings the WSPA University of Journalism and Social Communication studies is situated. In the main hall I found students sitting together and chatting in Russian about last lectures. My colleague, Marianna Kril, who is a teacher of radio journalism and runs a Polish-Ukrainian program at Radio Lublin invited me to hold a lecture during her class. As I entered the building, she approached me hurrying and introduced herself briefly. “I am originally from Ukraine, like almost 90% of our students who study journalism and media” Marianna explained. There are also some departments specialized in IT and technical science. The first meeting with the Ukrainian-Polish students was outstanding, we communicated mostly in English, yet some of the participants spoke also Russian and German.What did we plan to do during my visit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
