  • Carrying out comprehensive renovation and conservation work that aims to preserve objects of particular value to the Polish heritage, currently located outside the country’s borders.
  • Conducting and promoting research about the cultural heritage of the multinational and multicultural aspects of the Republic of Poland, as well as the legacy of Polish emigration and exile.
  • Support of Polish institutions and organizations abroad, operating to protect national heritage (archives, museums, libraries).
  • Developing public awareness of the Polish citizens and Polish communities abroad in the areas of preservation and meaning of Polish cultural heritage outside the country.
  • The shaping of patriotic attitudes through volunteer and educational projects aimed at developing social and civic competencies.
