The Polish Institutes is a network of establishments reporting to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland. As of 2020 there are 25 of them. Their mission is described as "creating a positive image of Poland abroad" by promoting Polish culture, history, science, language and national heritage. [1] Other tasks include supporting cultural exchange, in particular, within the framework of the European Union National Institutes for Culture, as well as implementation of various international cultural programmes. [1]

Contents

Polish institutes cooperate with local institutions and NGOs in organizing various events. [1]

The names may slightly differ in some countries. For example, in London and New York, the institute is called "Polish Cultural Institute".
