She is expected to attend US First Lady Melania Trump’s Fostering the Future Together Global Coalition Summit, which will bring together representatives from 45 nations, including France, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Israel.

Leaders of best-in-class technology entities, such as OpenAI, Microsoft, xAI, Meta, Palantir Adobe, Google and Zoom Communications will also attend.

According to the White House, Fostering the Future Together is a long-term initiative designed to empower children through education and technology.

Melania Trump first outlined her vision for such an initiative during last year’s 80th United Nations General Assembly.  

On the first day of the summit, at the US Department of State on March 24, the participants will be equipped with practical approaches and innovative tools to address challenges children face in the digital era and advance digital education, safety, and literacy for children in their countries.

The following day, Poland’s Nawrocka will attend a roundtable discussion at the White House hosted by Melania Trump.

The discussion will "highlight select country-level initiatives, foster international cooperation, and set the stage for ongoing Coalition action to help children flourish in the digital era," according to the White House.

A face-to-face meeting between the US and Polish first ladies is also planned, according to Polish media outlets. It would be their second meeting after the Polish presidential couple’s White House visit in September last year.

A detailed programme of Nawrocka’s visit is yet to be published.
