We bring Poland closer, beyond its borders! We present to other peoples our culture and art, the history, science, education or achievements of our NGOs. We support the collaboration between Poland and other countries in these areas. We help our active partners in the field of international cultural exchanges in establishing contacts.
Like the other 23 Polish institutes in the world, we are part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland. We are dealing with public and cultural diplomacy, we work with artists, experts, the media and opinion-forming media.
We take care that Poland is active in the public and cultural life of different countries, and we also have an informative-educational activity, by supporting the learning of Polish language outside our country.
