We had lived In Krakow, in the years 2007 – 2008 and I was also a member in IWAK. I contacted IWAK as soon as we moved back in 2020. Members had changed almost completely after 14 years, but there were still a couple of familiar faces from old times. Of course, the corona messed up many of IWAK’s plans but I took part in as many events as possible, so I didn’t feel lonely. With some friends, we also organised meetings between us, but initially I got to know them through IWAK as well. I would like to thank the IWAK Committee for all the work they do for their members.

Joining IWAK was a fantastic way to meet and make friends. The activities arranged were varied and I enjoyed being an active member and committee member. I would say that the more you are able to be involved, the more you will gain from your membership.

IWAK was a big part of my life in Kraków. I met many wonderful people and made lifelong friends through it! Enjoyed all the book clubs and cooking clubs, as well as an opportunity to serve on the committee. IWAK is a unique, friendly community of foreign women in Kraków.

I volunteered as an event coordinator for the association for couple of months and I go to the IWAK's craft group meetings. There is so much to do with the women in this association and it is a great opportunity to meet wonderful people from different cultures.
