On February 28, the two-day celebration of the International Mother Language Day began in our school.

On the first day, we listened to a lecture by Prof. dr hab. Renata Przybylska, Dean of the Faculty of Polish Studies of the Jagiellonian University: On the names of the awards currently granted in Poland

and a reading from Dr. hab. Kazimierz Sikora from the Department of the History of Language and Dialectology at the Faculty of Polish Studies of the Jagiellonian University: Krakow’s Holy War – a few remarks by the linguist.

Then there were “reading lessons” led by prof. dr. hab. Roman Dąbrowski from the Department of the History of Literature of the Enlightenment and Romanticism of the Jagiellonian University, Dr. Józef Ruszar from the Faculty of Philosophy of Ignatianum and Dr. Tomasz Majkowski from the Department of Anthropology of Literature and Cultural Research of the Jagiellonian University.

A day later, the invited secondary school students from Primary School No. 98 with Integration Departments8 in Krakow, Primary School No. 1 in Wieliczka, School and Kindergarten Complex No. 2 in Krakow, Junior High School with bilingual classes 83 and Private Primary School in Zelków and students of our school listened to a lecture by Mrs. Anna Jończyk: Retoryka in advertising. Then, high school students took part in a Polish language competition prepared by Ms Teresa Lityńska-Konieczny and Mr Michał Kozień.

Thank you for everyone’s commitment and invite you to the next edition of the International Mother Language Day next year!
