EDUCATION AND UPBRINGING IN THE SECOND POLISH REPUBLIC. ATTEMPTS TO TRANSFER THE SALESIAN CHARISMA TO THE POLISH LAND

Abstract

In 1918, our country regained its independence. The process of reconstructing Polish statehood came across numerous problems including those emerging in the field of education and upbringing. The contemporary Polish authorities were aware of the fact that those challenges had to be treated as a priority. Education and upbringing are undoubtedly such specific forms of activity without which the reconstruction process of a country’s social and ethnic fabric is not possible. Salesians actively joined that process of reconstructing the country by establishing many new educational institutions.
