The Centre for the Development of Polish Education Abroad (Ośrodek Rozwoju Polskiej Edukacji za Granicą, ORPEG) supports and promotes the learning of the Polish language among young Poles who are spending time abroad. Through the development of different forms of teaching and training, ORPEG makes it possible for pupils to acquire knowledge on the subject of Poland, as well as improving their language skills during prolonged or briefer stays in other countries. We seek to encourage the young to make contact with the Polish language and Polish culture, by way of online learning, distance learning, the teaching offer made available by school consultation points, and the teachers and Polonia centres cooperating with us. We make Polish textbooks and teaching aids available, provide advisory services, and support the professional development of teachers working abroad and dispersing to the most far-flung corners of the globe. Thanks to our activity, it is possible for the children of Polish citizens spending some time abroad to receive education relevant to the home country, as well as assisting with the education of the Polish and Polish-language communities present in other countries.
