Educational and cultural activities in Poland

Overview

Various educational, religious, and cultural activities are organized in Poland. Planned itineraries for 2026 include professional educational journeys for German social work professionals focusing on the history of the Shoah and Jewish life in Krakow, as well as religious pilgrimages to sites such as the Jasna Góra monastery and the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Local school initiatives also involve cultural engagement, such as puppet theatre performances for primary students and historical workshops for older students. These workshops focus on the Warsaw Uprising, utilizing storytelling and simulations to teach students about wartime life. Recent student activities have expanded to include empathy-building and scientific field trips. Second-grade students visited the Paluch Animal Shelter in Warsaw to learn about the responsibilities of pet adoption and the daily lives of homeless animals. Additionally, schools are organizing excursions to JuraPark Krasiejów, where students explore Earth's history through authentic fossils and prehistoric animal models to supplement biology, geography, and history curricula. Further educational trips have recently focused on history, culture, and film technology. Students from Zespół Szkół Zawodowych nr 1 in Dęblin visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum to study the history of the former Nazi concentration camp, followed by visits to Wawel Royal Castle, the Old Market Square, and the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in Kraków. Meanwhile, students from Publiczna Szkoła Podstawowa nr 6 in Brzeg attended film workshops at Alvernia Planet, covering cinema history, sound design, and digital effects like blue and green screen technology. This group also visited Pszczyna Castle to view its historical interiors. In November 2026, the Polish government announced plans for new regulations that would make certain school trips mandatory. Under these proposed rules, primary and secondary schools would be required to organize at least one excursion during a student's educational cycle.
