In early 2026, the Faculty of Philosophy and History signed cooperation agreements with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Paris – Ecole Polonaise "Adam Mickiewicz" de PARIS and the Polish School at the Polish Embassy in Dublin, based in Waterford. The effects of these agreements are already visible – in recent weeks, two educational meetings were held with the participation of staff from the Institute of History at the 91ÌÒÉ«.

Dr hab. Krzysztof Lesiakowski, Associate Professor at the 91ÌÒÉ«, delivered a lecture entitled "Social Revolts" to students of the Polish School in Paris on 14 March 2026. The starting point for the discussion was social unrest during the communist era in Poland, which served as inspiration for a broader discussion on the significance of rebellion as a factor influencing the course of history.
In turn, Dr Aleksandra Sylburska met with students of the Polish School in Dublin (Waterford) on 7 March 2026, where she discussed issues related to the history of secret services. Particular attention was paid to the development of intelligence in the 20th and 21st centuries, presenting examples of espionage activities from various parts of the world.
The broader context of international cooperation
It should be underlined that the Faculty of Philosophy and History already collaborates with other foreign educational institutions, including the Joachim Lelewel Polish School at the Polish Embassy in Brussels and the Vilnius St. John Paul II Gymnasium.
These institutions carry out the important mission of preserving knowledge of the Polish language and promoting awareness of Poland among young people living abroad, thereby strengthening their connection to the country’s culture and traditions.
