Our faculty hosted dr hab. Elżbieta Napora, prof. UJD. at a visiting position for international senior researher during the period 1.2. – 30.4.2022. The internship was accomplished within the project "Support for international mobility at the Silesian University in Opava II", registration No. CZ.02.2.69 / 0.0 / 0.0 / 18_053 / 0017871.

During the stay, two empirical projects were implemented. The aim of the first project was to compare the quality of interpersonal relationships between peers of Polish and Czech youth using the patented Adolescent-Peers Communication Scale (SKAR). The results processed in terms of communication and its openness or difficulties will be subsequently published. The aim of the second project was to portray the family using a qualitative method and compare this picture among young adults from the Czech Republic and Poland. The project enabled the creation of an international team of researchers using a psychological test of family drawing.

The internship created an opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences, which became the basis for cooperation with the Institute of Pedagogical and Psychological Sciences FPP SU in the implementation of the international scientific symposium Evening with Psychology # 5. The research team also presented the latest Polish research on the functioning of the modern family.

An international workshop was prepared for the students of Institute of Pedagogical and Psychological Sciences realized implemented in the research-didactic project "Students – To Students 2022", which is carried out by Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa. The workshop was attended by students of the Department of Psychology on behalf of the Polish side, who led a course for both FVP students called Jak cię widzą tak cię piszą.
