Project description
The project aims to disseminate and popularise knowledge regarding the modernisation achievements of Poles. More specifically, it seeks to determine the impact of these contributions to the socio-economic growth of the Polish society as well as the influence of these accomplishments on the development of other countries. The project involves the creation of an online exhibition that will be distributed to libraries, local government units, and Polish organisations operating in different places around the world. Following the creation of the exhibition, an album will be published both in online and printed formats. The exhibition and album, prepared by the project team in collaboration with employees of the Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Rzeszow, will showcase 50 of the most influential individuals for social and economic growth in Poland.
