This is a blog created in the basement of an extraordinary institution. I'm not saying this to brag, I am honestly impressed by what is going on here!
This town, Szczecin, is one of the most exciting cities I've been to. It's not very pretty, there are not many typical tourist attractions. In this town everything happens underneath the surface. When you get Your hand on a small pamphflet called ECHO Szczecin You will discover that there is so much to do and so much to see that You just have to stay here longer than planned!
What this institution does is not written in the ECHO Szczecin pamphlet (All though it sometimes should). This basement, off course the whole institution, belong to the University of Szczecin. It's called Akademickie Centrum Kształcenia Językowego. Yes, a very long name and not very easy to pronounce. The abbreviation is ACKJ, in English it is SULC, The Szczecin University Linguistic Centre. SULC teaches foreign languages to over 36 000 of the Universities students! It hosts courses for students from the whole region and organizes important exams. For example there is one incredible course called the Synoptical course, created by dr Piotr Wahl. He teaches three languages simultaneous, French, Spanish and Portuguese!
Enough about what is above the ground, lets go under the surface! To the basement of this great building! In the basement is the foreign language library in cooperation with British Council. This, if I may say, is like the cherry on top of the cake. The library is open for the student and the public! We have more that 15 000 positions in 6 different languages and it doesn't stop there! For example, we organize Story Telling for kids and exhibitions in our gallery.
When You visit us You will meet Paweł (the LibraryBoss), Asia (British Council expert) and Irenka (the Swedish girl). We are the team that tries to make our library fun and a place where people can come together.
