Poland in the UK

For the fourth time now, we invite you to join the new project of organising classes in British primary and secondary schools promoting the beauty of the Polish language and the richness of Polish culture and history.

The aim of the Polish After-School Clubs is to shape good Polish-British relations among the young generation. Furthermore, it is to experience the value of Polish speech, culture, tradition, history and geography among young Poles living in the United Kingdom. On the other hand for young British people Polish After-School Clubs is an opportunity to learn the culture and traditions of their Polish friends. The project is also an excellent promotion of the benefits of bilingualism among children and young people.

The "Polish After-School Clubs" project is to be conducted from May 2024 until the end of November 2024. Moreover, we would like to encourage all to finish the classes by the common school celebration – Polish Day. The School Festival organized by participants of the classes in cooperation with teachers and parents. This event would be the perfect opportunity for the Polish community to share with local school communities the richness of Polish culture, and furthermore to demonstrate traditional Polish openness and tolerance as well as friendship and cordiality.

The organizers of the "Polish After-School Clubs” can apply for financial support for the classes  up to a maximum amount of £500, being paid after the implementation of the project.
