The Institut De Republica launches the second edition of the scholarship program for young humanists. Financial support, a series of semester meetings and a summer school trip await participants. Submit your project – only until 20 November!

The Joseph Conrad Fellowship is a comprehensive scholarship program. It includes several elements:

-implementation by the participants of their own scientific and artistic projects;
monthly financial support in the amount of 1.200 gross PLN;
-a series of lectures and seminars with the participation of the most important Polish and foreign representatives of the world, culture and science

-summer school, in which participants will work on their projects in groups, on the workshop,led by tutors;
-the revised publication of the text prepared within the Program in the scientific publishing house of the Institut De Republica.

We invite all students and authors (to 35 years) interested in the humanities broadly understood. The main theme of the academic year 2022/2023 will be: THE 19TH CENTURY AND THE MODERN POLISH FORM.

In addition to regular financial support, participants will have the opportunity to attend closed lectures and seminars, during which they will learn about and then critique the ideas and phenomena that shape the paradigm shifts of the Polish form.

During the two semesters, the following thematic areas will be explored:

THE BODY OF DISMOZED POLAND. About the abyss of divisions and the ways that Polish culture used to get out of it. We will seek answers to the following questions: Constitution of 3 may have opened one such path? The national riots were an expression of abysmal awareness? Romantic literature was self-discovery? And what does that mean?: Demolished Poland? We have a vague idea of ​​what the Polish spirit is – but what is the polish body? How to communicate with it, how it is controlled and protected?

CITY AND RURAL GHOSTS. About two heroes of the 19th century: the city and the village, or rather – the images we created of them. The city as a space of history – a landscape of onrushing technology, a scene of social life, an architectural model of modernity. In turn, rural environment, rediscovered by popular history, it is a space where the real and the fantastic mix more than ever. What the Polish village really is, who lives it and who tells about it?

THE POLISH SOUL LABORATORY. How the new Polish form was invented. How they became Paris, Rome and other European cities were laboratories where émigré artists experimented with the Polish soul? Why did they want to escape and what to save? What a future they dreamed of? What was modernity in such a perspective: trauma or therapy?

Specters and ghosts of modernity. So about what modernity has replaced. What elements did modernization fail to control?, what areas of human experience he failed to name and say? We will go in search of ghosts and ghosts that have been hidden by the project of modernity, about which he was silent, and when he discovered them – reacted to them with fear or violence.

In the new year, we return to the era in which Joseph Conrad was born and lived. This remarkable writer is for us, above all, one of the first witnesses and chroniclers of the modern world. Furthermore – We see Conrad as the inventor of a language capable of describing this new world. The task of the Joseph Conrad Fellowship is to follow the same path – to learn new languages, narratives and categories of description, to test them and thus better understand the reality around us.

Tuesday, 17 th of May 2022, TRIBUTE TO A HERO, represented by Mr.. Janusz SZALINSKI – Honorary consul, organized the inauguration ceremony of the forest altar located in Timișu-de -Sus, Brașov county.

The altar was built in 1940 of Polish Army soldiers who have taken refuge in Romania since the year 1939.

In the fall 1999 The Christian Youth Association of Romania became the owner of the camp it had owned before 1944 (ACT - YMCA founded in 1919 at the initiative of Queen Maria of Romania). During repair work,  an altar and a stepped pavement were discovered in the forest. The buttresses were adorned with shards of white plates, and on one of them was an inscription with red shards: MAY 1940. That's how it was in this camp, between 1939 and 1940 were hosted 600 of Poles who had built a Catholic altar in the deciduous forest

In the renovation of this monument, The efforts of Consul Janusz Szaliński were important. Some of the works were carried out by soldiers stationed in Romania within the Polish Military Contingent PKW Craiova, starting with the 6th rotations and continuing with the current one – a 10-a, and the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Bucharest contributing financially to the realization of the project.

The ceremony was attended by representative companies of the Polish and Romanian Armies, also, The brass orchestra of the Romanian Air Force Academy in Brașov.

Therewith, Honorary Consul Janusz Szaliński was awarded the Silver Medal of the Polish Army for outstanding contributions to popularizing the history and traditions of the Polish Army internationally.

The event was attended by E.S.. d-him Maciej Lang, The Ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Romania , Consul of Poland in Bucharest – Dl Jaroslaw Skirpan etc. They were present , also: Honorary Consul of the French Republic in Brașov – Ion Ciolacu, Vice President of the Brașov County Council – Zoltan Szenner, Brașov Garrison Commander "Sarmisegetusa", – Col. Marian Dragomir, Commander of the Air Force Academy "Henri Coanda" Brasov, Commander Conf. univ. dr. Marius Șerbeszki.

In his speech, Consul Janusz Szalinski honored and honored the Polish soldiers – the heroes of 1940, condemned the war, its consequences and referred to the repetition of history by the invasion of Ukraine.

The ceremony ended with a religious service, followed by the military honors of the two armies.

Every year, Europe Day (9 th of May) we celebrate peace and unity in Europe. 9 It also represents the historic moment when the "Schuman Declaration", the idea of ​​a new form of political cooperation in Europe has been proposed, making the war between the nations of Europe inconceivable. Thus, Robert Schuman's proposal is considered the cornerstone of the European Union.

This year, the day of 9 It's still special. After two years, The challenges of the COVID pandemic have shown what is important in our lives: the health, the relationship with nature and with our fellow men, solidarity and joint effort. He raised new questions about how we choose to live. He showed both the benefits of European integration, as well as weaknesses.

 From 9 May, Europeans' efforts should have been rewarded by celebrating Europe Day in a bright atmosphere, exuberance, by significant events of the Member States. In fact, these expectations are dark in the context of the war in Ukraine, which determines that the events dedicated to Europe Day in 2022 emphasize the EU's commitment to peace and universal values ​​such as freedom and democracy, while demonstrating unity and solidarity with the Ukrainian people.

Although the European Union sometimes seemed to be overwhelmed by the challenges of the last decade as well: economic crisis,  financial,  by the migration system, pandemia COVID 19, etc.  we are aware that it would be much more difficult for each state to act alone. European cooperation and solidarity assure us that we will face the challenges of the future because it is a project of peace and reconciliation., as it was at the time of its launch, so it is today, an entire Europe, free, united and at peace.

In my opinion, European identity is a space where we have a similar mentality towards culture and life, given that we Europeans no longer want wars and conflicts in Europe. To avoid these situations we must work very closely together. Europe has endured too many wars, and now he supports peace in every way. What unites the countries of Europe is democracy, cultural diversity and solidarity.

The conventional European Union identification emblem is represented by two symbols: The anthem "Ode to Joy" and the Flag of Europe. The anthem was officially adopted in 1972.  The lyrics of the poem "Ode to Joy" written by Frederich Shiler in 1875 it expresses his idealistic vision of the joy of human brotherhood, vision shared musically by Beethoven in the Ninth Symphony, work (1823) from which the Hymn of Europe is extracted.

The flag designed by the Council of Europe has been adopted by all European institutions since 1986. Made against a blue sky, the stars form a circle, symbolizing union, number of stars –  twelve – it represents the symbol of perfection and wholeness, remembering the apostles, of the sons of Jacob, of the works of Hercules, for the months of the year.

9 There is another day when Europeans are invited to reflect, equally to the chance they have to live in peace and freedom.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EUROPE!

These days, The Polish community in Romania celebrates three more events, pe 2 May - Day of the Polish Diaspora and Poles Abroad and Flag Day of the Republic of Poland, and on 3 May - National Holiday, Polish Constitution Day.

On 2 Diaspora Poles and All Those Living Outside the Country Are Celebrated. It is a national holiday instituted in the year 2002 by the Seim of the Republic of Poland at the initiative of the Senate, in recognition of centuries of achievements and contributions of the Polish diaspora and Poles abroad and loyalty and attachment to Polish culture. On the same day, Flag Day of the Republic of Poland is celebrated, which was introduced as a legal holiday in 2004. Celebrating the Flag is not a coincidence. On the eve of Constitution Day, Poles reflect on glorious pages in Polish history, uniting those in the country and abroad under one of the national symbols - the flag of their Homeland. In this day, Poles remember the long history of national colors white and red and proudly display flags outside.

Although there are various theories about its history, the origin of the Polish flag is not recorded anywhere. It is not known exactly when the use of red and white became the national standard, but the custom is believed to date back almost a millennium, and the colors are of heraldic origin. In the symbolism of the Polish flag, the white comes from the White Eagle, being the emblem of Poland, and from the white Pahonia - the knight on horseback, which is the emblem of Lithuania. The colors white and red were first recognized as national 3 th of May 1792, on the first anniversary of the promulgation of the Constitution.

3 May - is one of the three most important Polish national holidays. On 3 th of May 1791 the first modern constitution was adopted, writing, in modern Europe and second in the world - after the American one. It was considered a very progressive document for its time, an attempt to save the country that has lost part of its territory, as a consequence of the first division made in the year 1772 of Prussia, Austria and Russia. Shortly after its adoption, the second and third divisions were made 1793 and 1795 and Poland lost its independence for many years. Although it never came into force, The Constitution of a 3 It is also important to remember her as a supporter of the aspirations of future generations for independence.

Simultaneously with the anniversary of the adoption of the Constitution of 3 th of May, starting with the year 1920 Poland is celebrating, the religious feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Poland. The holiday was established by Pope Benedict XV in 1920, at the request of the Polish bishops after Poland gained independence in 1918. The feast commemorates the vows made in Lviv by King John Casimir, during the Swedish flood, entrusted Poland with the protection of the Mother of the Dome. On 1 April 1656 the king of Poland, Ioan Cazimir, in the presence of the bishops, senators and the papal legate took the oath of allegiance to the icon of Our Lady of Mercy in Lviv Cathedral and officially declared Mary Queen of the Polish Crown: "I choose you today as my mistress and as the mistress of my countries". Also at that time, for the first time, during the reading of the Lauretan litany by the papal nuncio Pietro Vidoni, the invocation was repeated three times: "Queen of the Polish Crown, pray for us!"This special cult of Mary as the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of Poland appears in Poland but also in Polish parishes and the Polish diaspora abroad. In Romania, the church dedicated to this holiday is the church “Most Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of Poland ”from Vicșani.
