Abstracts

EN

The paper discusses stimulating cooperation between Polish and Czech Cieszyn including bilateral government treaties, conventions restricting and abolishing the bordertrade barriers, local and regional agreements. Moreover, the paper describes the most important transborder programmes concerned with this cooperation and international documents, which are strategic in nature, as well as the accepted forms of this cooperation between the two local governments. In particular, some types of transborder activities are discussed in terms of the most popular actions developed at the beginning of 1990s and continued up till now. More or less popular animating projects are listed as they are linked with the organisation and promotion of cultural events and actions occurring at both sides of the border. Furthermore, the paper describes associations and institutions that initiate these events and are involved in the cooperation. The idea is to define goals of cultural events undertaken together, including, among others, rebuilding the cultural and social bonds of the city divided by the demarcation line, uniting people with the help of one esthetical experience and opposing negative national stereotypes. Polish and Czech Cieszyn is becoming one city and in fact bi-city to achieve these goals during the period of these culture events. Considering the geo-political aspect, these are two independent urban cities, which belong to different national structures, various legal and economical systems, have two different societies in terms of nationality, language and mentality.
