Kasia Izabela Z. Kramer

Witam wszystkich Polaków i przyjaciół Polski,

I'm Kasia Kramer and I'm standing for PolSoc Treasurer. I came to UCL and SSEES to immerse myself within Polish culture via my degree of Politics, Sociology and East European Studies at SSEES, and my membership in PolSoc. 

Over the recent months, I have had the absolute pleasure of volunteering for Polish Society on a number of occasions. I'm sure a lot of you will know me from me enthusiastically pouncing on you at the Cultural Fair...whoops. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you! 

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to play a bigger role in Polish Society. The fun I've had in doing so has motivated me to apply for the role of Treasurer!

My central motivation as Treasurer is to strengthen ties with diaspora Poles such as myself. As Treasurer, I would seek to improve PolSoc's outreach to diaspora Poles through an outreach campaign and financing of events at British-Polish cultural spaces, such as the POSK or Ognisko. As a committee member for SSEES Society, I have connections with Central and Eastern European national societies. This enhances my ability to execute and finance formal events in tandem with other national societies, such as Lithuanian, Hungarian or Czech-Slovak Societies. 

My Grandfather's exile from the country he fought for is what motivates my application for this committee position at PolSoc, as I wish to continue promotion of Polish culture and create spaces for Poles abroad.

Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła!
