I helped compile three city guides for MOVE Guides between 2014 and 2016. The chosen cities were:
  • Warsaw (one full guide and then updated)

The guides were used for people relocating and were an internal feature of their website, so no links are available.

as AN expert

  • From 2015-2018 I was invited to be an expert for the School with Class Foundation. This is a non-profit organisation based in Warsaw. It involved going to their festival in June and talking to and judging the students' work on display in English. They do excellent work in promoting education and teacher training. In fact I collaborated with them on many occasions. The following is a link to the 2017 festival I was involved in (in Polish only - for English please click EN on their website):
