Life / British living in Poland - documentary [42]

Thank you for the replies - they have been really encouraging and very interesting.

Dear LukeI would be happy to help the second time if you make it to Warsaw.

That sounds fantastic. I will definitely be able to get to Warsaw, and Lodz is certainly a possibility as travel between the two looks okay. If you could email me so we can talk more I would appreciate it (I tried to PM and email you but the message board will not allow me).

I lived there 1991-94, when it was only just coming out of the shroud of Communism, and have been back periodically, and have constant contact. I had a lot of interesting observations to make about it from when I was there, and how it has changed now. Happy to talk.

Thank you very much. I will PM you now for a little more information.

Life / British living in Poland - documentary [42]

Cheers for that, I appreciate the links.

To be honest the Western influence was more of an aside - the documentary will be quite feature-based. For the purpose of this project it shouldn't matter too much how long the person has lived in Poland as I'm hoping for quite a wide range.

I'll take on board your comments though as they have brought up ideas I hadn't thought about.

Life / British living in Poland - documentary [42]

Cześć!

I am a journalism student studying at Edinburgh Napier University. As part of the course I am creating a short radio documentary about British people living in Poland, and the effect of Western culture on Poland. I've become interested in this subject (and Polish culture in general) since meeting my partner, who grew up in Silesia and now lives here in Scotland.

Is there anyone who is British (or know of any British) living in Poland that would be willing to conduct a recorded interview with me? I will be in the country between the 6th and 13th of January, and will be going back again sometime between February and March a second time. I will be based around Zabrze for the first visit, and then probably Kraków or Warszawa for the second.

Dziękuje!

Luke.
