"The feminine side of poetry, or through poems to language" is a project aimed at encouraging students of philology, as well as university candidates, to take an interest in the Polish language, Polish culture, with a particular focus on contemporary Polish poetry. The focus of the project is on 3 poets: Wisława Szymborska, whose 100th birthday we celebrated in 2023, and two contemporary authors, Krystyna Dąbrowska and Małgorzata Lebda.

The project is implemented under the Polish Language Promotion program of the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange.

Jakie działania zostaną podjęte w projekcie?

The organization of translation workshops, the preparation and realization of podcasts, the summary of the work in the form of short films, and the preparation of a publication containing the results of poetry translation. All these activities will be implemented through translation workshops conducted at La Sapienza University, at the Polish Academy of Sciences Center in Rome, and as meetings organized through online connections.

Dla Biuletynu Polonistycznego wypowiedziała się także prof. Regina Jakubėnas z Centrum Polonistycznego Uniwersytetu Wileńskiego, dzieląc się wrażeniami z realizacji pierwszych etapów projektu.

Dlaczego akurat polonistyka?

The number of Polish Studies students at La Sapienza is decreasing every year. In the 2022/2023 academic year, there were only 37 students, including five in the master's program. Due to difficulties in attracting Polish Studies students at La Sapienza, the Polish Academy of Sciences Center in Rome decided to prepare a project together with the university that would increase the attractiveness of Polish Studies at the university. Vilnius University and Volyn National University were invited to collaborate, units with which La Sapienza had already successfully implemented projects. To broaden the impact of the project and increase its visibility and impact, the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences was also invited to participate, in addition to: Polish Institute in Rome and the Public Library of the City of Warsaw (Koszykowa Library).
