The College of Eastern Europe is a non-profit, non-partisan organization based in Wroclaw, a city in Poland, which, Nowak-Jeziorański once said, “with its root in the Easter is a strategic outpost in the struggle for a better and safer future for Poland.” The other founders are the City of Wroclaw, Lower Silesian Voivodeship Council, National Ossoliński Institute, Angelus Silesius Meeting House, Krzyżowa Foundation and European Cultural Association.

The mission of The College of Eastern Europe is to build Eastern Europe as a community of free people. For us, Europe is not a geographic but axiological concept.

In over 20 years the College of Eastern Europe developed a number of areas of activity including a printing house, information portals and magazines in Polish and English, and since KEW manages the Castle on Water in Wojnowice near Wroclaw. The College is involved in numerous educational and artistic projects supporting free exchange of thought and sharing of experiences in various fields of social, civil, political and cultural life.
