Our foundation is named after Jerzy Giedroyc — a prominent Polish intellectual and the editor of Kultura magazine.
He consistently promoted the values of mutual respect, regional partnership, and the independence of neighboring nations. His legacy serves as a key reference point for our work and vision.
We create a space for open discussion, joint cultural and educational initiatives, and civic projects, as well as for sharing experience in the fields of democracy, human rights, and social development.
Jerzy Giedroyc Dialogue and Cooperation Forum is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to fostering dialogue and cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe, with a primary focus on strengthening relations between Lithuania and Poland.
