🇵🇱 - Special Report Launch

We are glad to present the special report “The Phenomenon of the Forgotten State: Poland’s Distinct Position Within the Developed World,”by Szymon Polewka crowning the first edition of our campaign.

❓What makes Poland unique within the Western world?
❓Can Poland be fully understood without acknowledging Polish national emotions?
❓What stands behind the success of the Polish development model?

These questions are explored in the report and throughout the campaign, which for the past two years has promoted Poland’s heritage, culture, achievements, and national unity - offering a deeper perspective on a country too often overlooked.

📘 Discover the report and learn more about Poland’s distinctive path!

❗️On 2–3 December, we had the opportunity to partner in organising the Freedom & Growth Summit, which took place in Warsaw at the Olympic Centre. Among the many engaging panels and discussions, we were able to outline today’s complex international realities and the dynamics of change affecting the modern world. Moreover, the multitude of opinions and arguments shed new light on the challenges and opportunities shaping our region, making the summit both meaningful and memorable.

🤝As we conclude the conference, we would like to extend our gratitude to all our speakers, panellists, and participants for their thoughtful contributions and engaging discussions. We would also like to thank our partners and volunteers, whose dedication made this event possible.

We look forward to welcoming you at our future events. Stay tuned!

🇵🇱 On this day, Poles around the world commemorate the restoration of Poland’s independence - honoring those who fought for our freedom 🇵🇱

🇵🇱 11 listopada – Narodowe Święto Niepodległości 🇵🇱

🗺️ 11 listopada 1918 roku Polska wróciła na mapę świata po 123 latach zaborów. To nie był cud, lecz efekt odwagi, poświęcenia i wytrwałości tych, którzy nie przestali wierzyć w wolną Polskę.

💭Dziś świętujemy wolność, pamiętając, że niepodległość to nie tylko święto - to codzienna odpowiedzialność za nasz kraj i jego przyszłość.

🇬🇧 November 11 – National Independence Day 🇵🇱

🗺️ On November 11, 1918, Poland returned to the world map after 123 years of partition. It was not a miracle, but the result of the courage, dedication and perseverance of those who never stopped believing in a free Poland.

💭Today, we celebrate freedom, remembering that independence is not just a holiday – it is a daily responsibility for our country and its future.

🇩🇪 11. November – Nationalfeiertag der Unabhängigkeit 🇵🇱

🗺️ Am 11. November 1918 kehrte Polen nach 123 Jahren der Teilung auf die Weltkarte zurück. Das war kein Wunder, sondern das Ergebnis des Mutes, der Opferbereitschaft und der Beharrlichkeit derer, die nie aufgehört hatten, an ein freies Polen zu glauben.

💭Heute feiern wir die Freiheit und erinnern uns daran, dass Unabhängigkeit nicht nur ein Feiertag ist, sondern eine tägliche Verantwortung für unser Land und seine Zukunft.
