MSASS Travel & Study Program Poznan Poland

MSASS Travel & Study Program Poznan Poland The course will focus on how Polish society addresses problems of poverty, homelessness, aging, domestic violence and mental health disorders.

This course introduces students to Polish culture and Polish social policies and practices concerning disenfranchised, stigmatized and disempowered social groups. The course will encourage students to understand how Poland's recent political and economic transformations affect society, in general, and some groups, in particular. In cooperation with the Institute of Sociology at the University of Poznan, students and faculty will use frameworks such as multiculturalism, social integration, feminism and determinants of social exclusion to understand Polish policy responses to various social phenomena. Students will have opportunities to engage government officials, practicing social workers, and some of Poland's most prominent scholars in conversation. In addition to lectures and workshops, the trip includes guided tours of neighborhoods and social institutions. Cultural events and outings will provide additional insights into Polish society and the Polish people. Poland, once a major European power from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea, was invaded in the eighteenth century by the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian empires. The country disappeared from the map of Europe. Poznan, often called the first capital of Poland, became part of Prussia and later Germany. A center of Polish culture and national identity, Poznan is a dynamic city with a rich multicultural past. Arriving in Berlin, we will travel to Poznan by train.

Marzec nawiązuje do Dnia Kobiet i przedstawia poznańską rzeźbę Bamberki, która porzuca
na plakacie wiadra — co staje się symbolem przekraczania ograniczeń.

March references International Women’s Day and depicts the sculpture Bamberka, who has
set aside her buckets — a symbol of hard work, but also of overcoming limitations.

2025 visit of MSASS students in Poland

To celebrate International Education Week (Nov. 17–21), we caught up with Shyanne Urban, a third-year Master of Social Work student with a concentration in Substance Use Disorders and Recovery whose interest in studying abroad took her to Poznań, Poland.

"I believe that the best social workers are those who are culturally aware and continue to learn about how the work that we do impacts different populations," Urban said.

Learn more about Urban's travels and her time with the Invisible Groups in a New Poland program. https://brnw.ch/21wXFIp
