Postal Adventures

A journey into the world of post

"Postal Adventures" is our signature program for the 2025/2026 school year, developed in collaboration with Poczta Polska and under the honorary patronage of the Minister of Education. It is a nationwide initiative aimed at introducing young children to the history of the postal service, the role of the national operator, and the values ​​of communication and community building.

The program includes three complete lesson plans for preschool and grades 1-3 of primary school. Each plan guides children step-by-step through their postal adventure: from their first contact with correspondence, through creative play with mailing, to joyful holiday experiences.

The "Postal Adventures" project was held under the honorary patronage of the Minister of Education.
