Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need to be a teacher at an IH school in Poland?
No, the event is open to ALL English language teachers from any school worldwide. In the past, we have also had many local non-IH teachers of English and local state school teachers. There is a fee of 150PLN for non-IH teachers. It is free for IH teachers and former IH Toruń teachers.
What are my transport options getting to the event?
Toruń is situated in north-central Poland. Bydgoszcz airport (BZG) is 45 mins away by car or bus. Gdańsk airport (GDN) and Poznan airport (POZ) are both 2 hrs away with good train and bus connections. Warsaw has two airports. The main one is Warsaw Okęcie (WAW) and there is also Warsaw Modlin (WMI) which serves low-cost airlines. Warsaw is about 3hrs from Toruń by bus or train. Flixbus offers good, cheap coach connections from many cities to Toruń. Advance booking is essential via their website. PKP trains are now very modern and comfortable and you can book online in English!
What are the nearest car parks to the venues?
The event is divided into 2 venues. The main venue (where the workshops take place) is International House (ul. Legionów 15). There are no parking spaces directly at the school. However, you can park at the car park behind Cinema City (Czerwona Droga). In the afternoon, we will all move to the conference room at CKK Jordanki. There is an underground car park there.
