Polonia communities across America have been pillars of Polish culture for generations. However, as time passes, visibility and connections between Poland and Polonia are declining. Cultural institutions on both sides of the Atlantic often operate in isolation, missing opportunities for meaningful exchange.
ZygZagPol creates a structured platform where funded cultural visitors from Poland can connect with Polish American institutions and individuals. We facilitate educational exchanges that benefit both visitors seeking to understand Polonia’s unique cultural landscape and hosts eager to share their heritage.
We’ve chosen English as our platform language to make ZygZagPol accessible to all generations of Polonia, including those who may not speak Polish fluently. English serves as a bridge language that welcomes everyone.
