The program transcends mere language learning and offers comprehensive insight into Poland's society, historical depth, and cultural vibrancy, for students, doctoral candidates, and academic teachers, NAWA said.
The courses, meticulously designed to cater to a diverse range of interests and preferences, offer the flexibility of attending either in-person or online sessions during July or August.
The Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, University of Silesia in Katowice, University of Łódź, John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, University of Wrocław, and Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, have received accreditation from NAWA, ensuring high quality of education and cultural immersion.
The program is open to non-Polish natives or residents with at least B1 proficiency in Polish or English. Attendees will be expected to fulfill their commitments, including maintaining minimum attendance and actively participating in course activities.
Participants will be encouraged to engage deeply with peers from dozens of countries, so as to contribute to a global community united by a shared interest for Poland's language and heritage.
Adam Mickiewicz University, for example, presents a comprehensive and interactive curriculum. It offers 45 hours of Polish language instruction tailored to various proficiency levels, combined with 30 hours of insightful lectures on Poland's history, literature, and culture. Participants can also take part in interactive workshops, integration parties, and guided tours around Poznań, along with regional excursions to highlight Poland's natural beauty and cultural landmarks.
The courses are easily accessible, with fees for the program, activities, accommodation, and meals for on-site courses having been waived. Attendees are required to make their own travel arrangements and cover obligatory medical insurance costs.
Prospective participants should mark May 15th on their calendars as the application deadline. Only accredited centers will conduct these courses and individuals can partake in only one course per year, even if they receive multiple invitations.
