From October 20 to 25, 2025, Nowy Sącz was visited by a group of Lithuanians from the University of the Third Age in Panevėžys. Our association enriched their stay by participating in and organizing several program activities, especially since the visit took place as part of the Erasmus program, in which CEM is also involved. One of the participants was a Lithuanian Esperantist, who proved invaluable, as Esperanto was our primary language of communication.
One of the CEM members – Marian Kocyk – guided the group around Nowy Sącz, showing them the most interesting places and the most important historical landmarks of the city.
The following day, a meeting was held between CEM members and the Lithuanian group, during which we discussed the activities of our associations and the specifics of working with seniors.
Bożena and Marian Kocyk also accompanied the group to Kamienna, to the “Honey Clinic” center, which specializes in apitherapy. Workshops were held there, led by an expert in beekeeping and related topics. Esperanto was again very useful for translation.
The final item on our side was a presentation by B.M. Kocyk titled “Dubai – Luxury in the Desert”, featuring beautiful travel photos and interesting information about the United Arab Emirates.
The guests from Lithuania surely took home fond memories of their stay in our city.
Bożena Kocyk
