In November 2024, the Museum of Free Belarus in Warsaw hosted a series of visits from students from Ukraine and Poland, strengthening international cultural cooperation and educational programs.

On November 25, a group of Ukrainian students from 12 universities, including Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University, the National Technical University of Ukraine, Dnipro National University named after Ales Hanchar, and others, visited the museum. The visit was organized in collaboration with the Tutaka Foundation as part of the @studytourstopolan program, funded by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation and coordinated by Fundacja Liderzy Przemian and Borussia.Olsztyn.

Guests met with Pavel Latushka, Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus and Head of the NAU, and explored the museum’s exhibition dedicated to the Belarusian struggle for freedom and dignity. The tour was organized as part of the project “The Museum of Free Belarus in the Cultural Palette of the Polish Capital,” implemented with financial support from the City of Warsaw.
