Through Polska in the Classroom, the Polish Institute is bringing Polish culture, language and everyday life directly into schools, giving students an opportunity to discover Poland through interactive presentations, films, creative activities and conversation.\nThe programme is designed to introduce young audiences to Poland in an accessible and engaging way, while creating opportunities to explore the connections between Polish and Indian culture.\nRecent workshops on 18th September at Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Harkesh Nagar, Okhla, and Delhi International School Edge, Dwarka, offered two different perspectives on how Poland can be introduced in the classroom.\nAt Government Girls Senior Secondary School, students began by exploring Poland\u2019s cities, landmarks and everyday life. They also learned some of their first Polish words, including Dzie\u0144 dobry and Dzi\u0119kuj\u0119. The session then moved from presentation to practice with wycinanki, the traditional Polish art of paper-cutting.\nStudents created their own designs, discovering a Polish folk tradition through a hands-on activity. The exercise turned a cultural concept into something tangible that students could make and take away with them.\nAt Delhi International School Edge in Dwarka, students took part in Odkryj Polsk\u0119 \u2013 Discover Poland, a workshop organised  on 30th September under the Polska in the Classroom programme in cooperation with Smile Foundation.\nThe session introduced students to Poland through its major cities, language, culture and history, as well as its Nobel Prize winners, literary figures and other cultural icons. Two short films and an interactive quiz encouraged students to engage with the material, while references to similarities between Polish and Indian traditions highlighted connections between the two cultures.\nLanguage was another important part of the experience. Students eagerly tried out their first Polish expressions, while the combination of films, questions and activities kept the sessions interactive and encouraged them to look at Poland from perspectives beyond the familiar image of a country on a map.\nThe workshops demonstrate how cultural exchange can begin with simple encounters \u2014 a new word, a shared tradition or a creative activity \u2014 and develop into a deeper curiosity about another country. Polska in the Classroom aims to create precisely these encounters, bringing Poland closer to young people in India and making cultural exchange accessible, meaningful and relevant to a new generation.\nWith further school visits planned, the Polska in the Classroom programme will continue bringing Polish culture and language into classrooms across Delhi, creating new opportunities for curiosity, dialogue and connection between young people in India and Poland."},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/2026\/10\/04\/polska-in-the-classroom-discovering-poland-in-delhis-schools\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/10\/828679624_1397338315903708_1615438957167620094_n.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/18\/2026\/10\/828679624_1397338315903708_1615438957167620094_n.jpg","width":2048,"height":1365},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/2026\/10\/04\/polska-in-the-classroom-discovering-poland-in-delhis-schools\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Polska in the Classroom: Discovering Poland in Delhi\u2019s Schools"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#website","url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/","name":"Instytut Polski w New Delhi","description":"Instytuty Polskie","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"pl-PL"},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#\/schema\/person\/7de4cd8f7a4148853785bd4be34f7e37","name":"swiecickaa","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"pl-PL","@id":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86f9aaa0e0d2990aa00fc825938db258?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/86f9aaa0e0d2990aa00fc825938db258?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"swiecickaa"},"url":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/author\/swiecickaa\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/185"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3812"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3812\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3823,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3812\/revisions\/3823"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/instytutpolski.pl\/newdelhi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
