Impact SEE'26 set to celebrate cultural collaboration in Bucharest

Impact SEE'26 will take place in Bucharest from September 29 to 30, 2026, bringing together various cultural initiatives and collaborations.

One notable supporter of this event is the Polish National Foundation, which actively promotes Polish culture, history, and entrepreneurship on an international scale. Their commitment to cultural exchange is evident through their collaboration with the Creative Industries Institute, where they promoted Polish video games at WePlay in Shanghai.

In addition to this, the Polish National Foundation organized a national stand for Poland at the Alimentaria Barcelona 2026, where Poland was honored as the guest country. This platform further showcases the rich cultural heritage and culinary excellence of Poland.

A significant initiative under the Polish National Foundation is the Future Classics project, developed in collaboration with the Julian Cochran Foundation. This program, set for 2026, will support 15 musicians aged 18 to 25, providing each young artist with scholarships worth 30,000 PLN.

Future Classics also focuses on artistic and professional mentorship, offering training in communication and international professional contacts. Participants will have the opportunity to perform at concerts in Warsaw and New York, enhancing their exposure and experience.

The Polish National Foundation also engages with Romanian soldiers stationed in Poland through their Forerunner program, which offers cultural and educational experiences. Previous visits have included significant sites such as the Royal Castle and the Warsaw Uprising Museum, allowing participants to explore Polish culture beyond their military duties.
