Participants’ Testimonials

Participants of previous editions of the Solidarity Summer School recall this international event as a truly unique experience. For many of them, the Summer School became above all a space for encounter — between different nationalities, perspectives, and histories.

Students and doctoral candidates from various countries around the world emphasize that the Summer School not only introduced them to the history of the Solidarity movement, but also created an opportunity for meaningful discussion on contemporary social, philosophical, and legal issues — leading to the development of lasting international connections. Here are some testimonials from participants of previous editions:
