Collegium Medicum welcomed new Erasmus students who arrived in Bydgoszcz from Albania, Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and Turkey. Their Polish Study Buddies helped them to face the challenges of their new reality. We welcomed our guests in a traditional Polish way – with bread and salt, whereas they brought traditional snacks from their home countries. Later, we walked around the city together and visited Museum of Soap and Dirt, where we had soap-making workshops.
