Established by UNESCO November 17, 1999 and celebrated each year on February 21 is intended to help protect linguistic diversity as a cultural heritage. The VI High School would like to celebrate this special day in a special way for the fourth time. The previous celebrations, attended by outstanding linguists and literary scholars from the Jagiellonian University and the Pedagogical University, as well as outstanding female artists, were appreciated by teachers, young people and the Krakow media.

This year’s celebrations will be inaugurated by a scientific session on February 21, 2017, during which the papers will be delivered by: dr hab. Mirosława Mycawka and Kacper Owiński, MA. Then, there will be reading lessons, during which young people will interpret selected texts of culture under the guidance of Masters – outstanding literary scholars from the Jagiellonian University: prof. dr. hab. Bogusław Dopart, dr hab. Dorota Wojda, Dr. Monika Stankiewicz-Kopeć, Dr. Anna Marchewki, Dr. Tomasz Majkowski. On the second day, the invited junior high school students will take part in literary, language and journalistic workshops conducted by teachers of Secondary School No. The ceremony will be crowned by a meeting with prof. dr hab. Jerzy Bralczyk, who will honor us with his presence and give a lecture at the 6th Secondary School.

The aim of the project is to present a scientific view of literature and Polish language as factors enriching the world of human experiences, shaping their ideals, ethical sensitivity, imagination, feelings and reflections. and people of culture. We are deeply convinced that the celebrations, as every year, will encourage discussion about the richness of our written and spoken language and will encourage reflection on the role and place of Polish language and literature in the life of a contemporary Pole.
