At the end of January, Akwedukt Association turned into a vibrant hub of international culture. On the 22nd, 27th, and 29th, we hosted three unique evenings dedicated to the youth of Kwidzyn, led by our talented international volunteers. It wasn’t just about learning; it was about sharing stories, tastes, and great energy.

Here is a quick recap of what went down:

Pasta in many ways with Sándor Who knew pasta could be so versatile? Sándor proved that even the simplest ingredients can create something extraordinary with the right technique. Beyond the recipes, the focus was on teamwork—participants rolled up their sleeves and prepared a delicious meal together, proving that the kitchen is the best place for integration. But only that! We were shown some unique recipes by one of our volunteer's family from Peru.

Spain through the eyes of Luciana and Antonio For one evening, we forgot about the Polish winter and escaped to sunny Spain. Luciana and Antonio shared authentic stories about their culture and daily life that you won't find in any guidebook. The highlight? Tasting local dishes prepared by our volunteers, which brought a real Spanish temperament to our space.

Moroccan stories with Asmaa The final evening belonged to Morocco. Asmaa introduced us to the mesmerizing atmosphere of her home country. We didn't just listen; we participated in the ritual of brewing traditional mint tea and tried our hand at creating intricate mosaics. We wrapped up the night with a competitive Kahoot quiz to see how much we had learned!

Why does it matter? 

Events like these are the heart of what we do at Akwedukt. They provide a safe space for local youth to practice their English in a natural way, break cultural stereotypes, and simply meet new people from all over the world.
