About us

The Foundation of International Education was formed in Autumn 1998. Its aim is to enrich the education of society by supporting activities which shape regional identity, contact with culture and achievements of other nations, and give aid to educational institutions by organising international contacts.

Its Founders were regional educational initiatives together with largest foreign companies which have invested in Lower Silesia, like VOLVO or Cadbury and diplomatic representation of their countries, among them the General Consul of Germany and the Consuls of Great Britain and France.
