The workshop opens with a brief Polish language introduction, then moves into a structured overview of Poland's geography, climate and contemporary landscape. You'll spend time on key historical moments — World War II, the Solidarity movement and the 1989 transition — before shifting to cultural traditions: wedding customs (shown via video) and major holidays, particularly All Saints Day.
Towards the end, you'll taste five pierogi prepared in advance and receive the recipe for making them at home. The session wraps around the two-hour mark. Bring your own beverage if you'd like one during the tasting.

Good to know
This works well for adults keen to understand Polish heritage, whether you're planning a Poland trip or reconnecting with family roots. It's accessible regardless of fitness level. The workshop is discussion-based rather than physically demanding, and language lessons start from scratch — no prior Polish knowledge needed. Note that the pierogi portion is a tasting with recipe-sharing rather than a hands-on cooking class; you'll sample five pieces. The facilitator offers flexible scheduling outside the standard times, so contact them directly if the advertised slots don't fit. You'll need to bring your own drink.
