I am a cultural community organizer and intercultural integration specialist. I facilitate integration workshops and community events for both children and adults, fostering grassroots activities such as picnics, sports sessions, and artistic endeavors.

Furthermore, I manage the Ukrainian and Intercultural Library at 23 Wita Stwosza Street in Gdańsk.

Karolina Dukat
[Polish teacher in Mozaika]
I am a teacher of Polish as a foreign language with a background in linguistics and pedagogy, as well as many years of teaching experience. Having lived in France for a long time, I deeply understand the challenges of mastering a new language and adapting to life in a different country. As a language learner myself (currently studying Spanish), I bring firsthand empathy and perspective to supporting my students through their own journeys. In my classes, I place a strong emphasis on real-world communication, practical everyday Polish, and creating a warm, encouraging atmosphere. Within the project "Together in Poland – Bridges of Integration for Third-Country Nationals," I am responsible for teaching Polish as a vital gateway to integration, connection, and building a sense of security in a new home.
