Project Asia

The aim of Project Asia is to increase Polish cultural presence in Asia, especially in China, Japan and Korea. In 2010, a rich cultural programme was carried out in China as part of this project, combining three elements: Polish Culture Days in China, the CHOPIN 2010 celebrations and a presentation of Polish culture at the World Exhibition in Shanghai (EXPO 2010 Shanghai China). The year 2011 saw a shift of focus towards Beijing and Tokyo, with activities forming part of the Cultural Programme of the Polish EU Presidency 2011. Project Asia will continue in 2012 with events organized in the Republic of Korea, and in the following years we hope to mark our presence across the whole East Asia region.
