Study Tours to Poland

Study Tours to Poland (STP) for students is one of the first recurring Polish education programs dedicated to university youth from Eastern Europe. Under this program, students from Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine take part in study visits in Poland.

The students apply individually in a competition for their participation in the Program. The competition is held by the Borussia organization and by Liderzy Przemian. Study tours of groups of a dozen or so students occur twice a year – in spring and autumn, in different university cities. Every year, Poland hosts over 200 Program participants.

Project goals:

The goal of STP for students is to show different aspects of living in Poland, the mechanisms of systemic transformation and modernization, as well as to provide the experience of being a part of the EU structures. What is equally important is learning about the non-governmental sector and different forms of civic activity. STP for students is one of the first recurring Polish education programs dedicated to university youth from Eastern Europe. The participants of the program take part in study tours in Poland.
