“European Experience: Poland” is a cycle of meetings with prominent persons who influence state functioning and creation of image of Poland both within the country and beyond with their actions and reflections. The experience of being in Europe is not just geopolitics and culture, but also the ability of a person to be the source of changes. We want to present to Ukrainians people who rise above particularism in their serving to public interests.

Guests of the project are Grzegorz Gauden, Waldemar Dombrowski, Maciej Nowak, Agnieszka Odorowicz, Paweł Potoroczyn, Jadwiga Staniszkis, Bogdan Lis and Jerzy Borowczak. The project is undertaken together with “Ye” bookshop and “Ukrainskyi Tyzhden”.
