In search of work, in search of oneself | Earned tourism

A trip to work often begins with a simple question: where can you earn more? Over time, however, it turns out that labor migration also means a change in relationships, language, everyday life and one's own perspective on oneself. Ewa Winnicka and Anna Zawadzka will talk about the experience of leaving, life between places and the price we pay for a better future.
