With support from ArtPower Belarus, the Belarusian School in Warsaw carried out an educational project aimed at preserving the Belarusian language, culture and national identity among children living outside Belarus. The grant supported the professional work of teachers who had experienced repression.
From November 2025 to May 2026, activities in Warsaw and Gdańsk included classes in Belarusian language and literature and Belarusian history, creative workshops, traditional puppet theatre (batlejka), folk singing and dancing. Children also explored Belarusian games, festivals and seasonal rituals, learning about their culture through direct participation and shared creative activities.
The Belarusian School in Warsaw has operated since 2022 as an online and in-person educational space for children who found themselves in Poland and other countries following events in Belarus. Some of its branches have since become independent educational initiatives, while the school continues to connect Belarusian families and teachers across different countries.
