More about the Langowska’s Prize.
The Grażyna Langowska Prize was established on the initiative of the Association "Polish Community" by three founders. It is awarded in three categories. The Roman Dmowski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski Institute for the Legacy of Polish National Thought rewards teachers, educators and institutions operating in the so-called "Solidarity Era" (1980—1990). The honor in this category is also awarded post mortem. The Institute of National Remembrance selects the laureates from among Polish teachers, educators and institutions, who educate young people in a patriotic spirit. The "Polish Community" Association awards the prize to teachers and educators, as well as to Polish institutions abroad.
