This article points out the way of life and educational achievements of Narcyz Kozłowski - famous social activist, teacher of youth and adult educator in Gdansk Pomerania region during the second half of the twentieth century. The reason to summarize the achievements of that teacher has become the century anniversary of his birth, which fall in 2013. The author shows various educational initiatives that have been initiated by N. Kozłowski, or in which he took an active part. Therefore sketch presents a period of his youth and higher education in Warsaw, his fate of war and underground activities in the Secret Association of Rural Youth “Young Forest” (Polish: Tajny Związek Mlodziezy Wiejskiej „Mlody Las”) and a number of efforts to promote the idea of residential folk high schools during the Polish People’s Republic in the years 1945-1989 (e.g. Folk High School in Bielawki, Baltic Folk High School in Opalenie) and in the first decade of the Third Republic of Poland (e.g. the Committee for Renaissance of the Polish Movement of Folk High Schools “Young Forest” /Polish: Komitet Odrodzenia Polskiego Ruchu Uniwersytetow Ludowych „Mlody Las”). Sketch ends with an appeal for the preservation of N. Kozlowski as a social activist and adult educator in the collective memory of the Pomeranian and Polish teachers/andragogues, because he wrote an interesting card in the history of Polish adult education in the rural areas in the past century.
