(Title in Polish - 'Letnia Akademia Kultury i Jezyka Polskiego. Dzialania Muzeum Archeologiczno-Historycznego w Glogowie na rzecz budowy nowoczesnie rozumianego regionalizmu'). The idea of establishing a Summer Academy of Polish Culture and Language (Letnia Akademia Kultury i Jezyka Polskiego - LAKiJP) in Glogow was initiated in 1997 by Jan Zubowski and Leszek Lenarczyk, with the Archaeological-Historical Museum in Glogow as one of the main organisers of the past and most recent editions. Having amassed the necessary funds, mainly thanks to assorted sponsors, the first edition took place in 1998. Up to this day, the form of the Academy's nine editions has changed. The Academy involves integration-educational meetings of young people from Poland, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Ukraine. The courses have produced 253 graduates and involved exclusively volunteers (lecturers, staff, services), with the young people attending them subsequently returning to the Academy as teachers. The curriculum evolved from historical and instruction courses relating to informatics and to specialist monographic themes, such as 'Tolerance in the Commonwealth' (VIII LAKiJP, 2007) or 'What do we need independence for' (IX LAKiJP, 2008). Successive editions of LAKiJP serve also the staff of the Archaeological-Historical Museum in Glogow, since the data provided by the participants becomes a source of information about the situation of Polish youth and the Poles in general in terrains once belonging to the Commonwealth and now part of Belarus, the Czech Republic, Lithuania and Ukraine. The Summer Academy of Polish Culture and Language exists thanks to the official support of the selfgovernment of the town of Glogow, the Marshal's Office, the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage and, predominantly, 'Wspólnota Polska' (the Worldwide Polish Community Association). Emphasis is also due to the financial contributions made by private and privatised firms in Lower Silesia, which have helped the Academy from the very beginning of its existence.
