In late September, ZUS announced its 10th annual Senior Days for October. The campaign, themed ‘Senior says: I CHECK. An aware senior in a world of disinformation’, aims to educate older citizens on identifying fake news, manipulated information, and various scams. The initiative includes workshops and consultations regarding pensions, social benefits, and financial security, supported by organizations such as the Polish Association of Retirees and Pensioners. Concurrently, ZUS is conducting the ‘Lessons with ZUS’ project for high school students. This program provides instruction on social insurance, benefits, and business contributions. To encourage participation, students can enter a national knowledge olympiad, where laureates may receive academic incentives from 56 Polish universities, including admission guarantees and reduced tuition fees. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-21: ZUS educational project offers university benefits for students Polish high school students can gain university advantages by participating in a ZUS social insurance educational project and national knowledge olympiad. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/zus-educational-project-offers-university-benefits-for-students ### 2026-09-23: ZUS launches nationwide Senior Days to combat disinformation ZUS is hosting its 10th annual Senior Days across Poland this October, focusing on combating disinformation and teaching elderly citizens how to recognize scams and navigate social benefits. 13 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/polish-libraries-host-literary-workshops-and-student-competitions --- Cite as: ZUS educational and awareness initiatives in Poland.
