Before the spring break, Polish MT students inquired into different aspects of Slavic civilisations and explored some of Slavic traditions and rituals, such as rituals of welcoming spring. It is an old Slavic tradition to create a doll using straw and sticks representing spring, and carry it in a small procession, and welcoming spring. A group of Polish MT students worked collaboratively on creating a doll, representing the Slavic mythological goddess Marzanna and carried it to the park to welcome spring. On this occasion, we also explored some Polish Easter traditions, such as creating Easter baskets filled with traditional Polish food and crafts, Easter egg hunts and painting and decorating Easter eggs using traditional techniques.
