The Polish Cultural Evening, organised by the Central European Academy, showcased Poland's rich legal and cultural heritage. The event highlighted key aspects of Polish tradition, law and history in an interactive and memorable way.
The evening began with a warm opening speech, followed by the singing of the Polish national anthem, setting the scene for a celebration of Poland's legal and cultural identity.
Participants were able to discover the history of the Jagiellonian University, one of the oldest universities in Europe and a cornerstone of Polish legal education, and the groundbreaking Constitution of 3 May 1791, Europe's first modern constitution.
A presentation on iconic buildings tied to Polish legal culture brought the country's legal traditions to life, showcasing landmarks such as the Polish Bar Chambers and the Constitutional Tribunal, which continue to shape the legal landscape of Poland today.
The evening was enriched with cultural elements, including a musical interlude celebrating Polish artistic heritage, followed by an exciting quiz to test the audience's knowledge on the topics discussed. Special prizes were awarded to the best performers.
The event was closed with the Polonez, the national dance of Poland, performed by all the participants, bringing the ceremony to a symbolic and heartfelt close.
