About the program

Initiated by the Lech Walesa Institute Foundation, the "Solidarność for the Future" project aims to educate young generation, and to remind the international community about the significance of Solidarność in the non-violent struggle for freedom and independence.

The peaceful revolution of Solidarność, in the name of the right to dignified life and societal development, tore down the walls and severe restraints on freedom. It also triggered the stunning economic transformations both in Poland and across the whole region of Central and Eastern Europe.

In the framework of the project Solidarity for the future the Lech Wałęsa Award is granted every year since 2008. Also, we run educational programs concerning human rights and democracy in the world.
