Centre for Thought of John Paul II

The Centre for Thought of John Paul II was established to investigate, document and disseminate John Paul II’s teaching in innovative ways.

The Centre is in charge of scholarships of the City of Warsaw named after Pope John Paul II. In addition, it offers an extensive scholarship program aimed at young people, which gives the opportunity to participate in various projects and competitions.

The institution realizes a number of cultural projects, including the international festival of theatre and music called (“Bitter Regrets”), concerts, street performances, happenings, urban games, competitions, exhibitions and events for Warsaw’s citizens. In addition, organizes discussions, workshops, film screenings, meetings with people from the world of culture and art, travellers, journalists and people who have risen from life tragedies. The Centre also runs the Internet TV Foksal Eleven and gives home to a choir, which has made numerous performances with leading soloists and orchestras.

In 2013, we established the Institute for Scientific Research, which has to be a showcase centre in a foreign environment. With its help  the Center implements analytical projects, such as nationwide sociological researches, organize international scientific conferences and summer schools, seminars, discussions and open debates.
