Poland launches campaign to raise awareness of Polish achievements

Poland has launched a campaign, titled “We Did It In Poland”, to promote awareness of Polish achievements in science and business, in particular among young Poles. One of the motivations behind the initiative was a recent poll showing 20% of Poles feel ashamed of their country, up from 14% in 2010.

“Pride in their country is felt mainly by representatives of the oldest generation, the so-called baby boomers,” says Olga Kozierowska, head of the Włączeni Plus foundation, which is running the campaign under the patronage of Poland’s current six-month presidency of the Council of the European Union.

“The Gen Zs those born between around 1997 and 2012], on whom the shaping of Poland’s image in the coming years will depend to the greatest extent, are the most likely of all generations to feel shame,” she added.

  • Sometimes a bit contra propaganda ( or "public mass information campaigns" )is a good answer to increased exposure to disinformation and the likes.

    As long as it's truthful and honest, it can increase awareness and less "confusion " so to speak.

    And yes, propaganda is a loaded policy, but disinformation is a serious theme and issue. Countering it, is hard as hell.

  • What achievements?
    No affordable housing, limited access to dormitories, poor public transportation, bad air quality, inflation, youth feels being forgotten by the government, no jobs, etc.

    First, secure basic needs.
