On Wednesday, 15th of May 2024, in the Senate Chamber of the University of Bielsko-Biala, took place the last meeting of the “Meet my Culture” cycle. Its participants were acquainted with curiosities of the British culture.
The meeting was opened by dr Dagmara Mika, who reminded to the participants the principles of the “Internationalisation Starts at Home” project, within the framework of which the “Meet my Culture” events were held.
The next presentation, titled “Humour as Essential Strand in British DNA” was delivered by dr Marzena Foltyn. She sketched out the history of the humour in the British culture and listed the categories in which its present manifested in the past and in which it manifests nowadays, proving that the humour is intrinsically woven in the fabric of the British cultural fabric. Then, Ms. Małgorzata Raułyk-Dumanow told the participants of the meeting about Wales – with a special consideration of the Welsh culture. The last presentation, given by dr Elwira Lewandowska, was an interactive quiz titled “30 Facts You Didn’t Need to Know About the UK”, during which the participants could check their knowledge about more or less known trivia about Great Britain.
The meeting allowed its participants to take a closer look into the nuances of the British culture, which can frequently prove themselves to be quite surprising.
