Synopsis
A DRAGON MEETING A DRAGON, OR ABOUT CULTURAL EXCHANGE BETWEEN KRAKOW AND BEIJING
The provided text discusses the cultural and academic exchange between Kraków (represented by Jagiellonian University – UJ) and Beijing (represented by Beijing Foreign Studies University – PUJO). The collaboration officially began in 2006 with the signing of an agreement and the establishment of the first Confucius Institute in Poland at UJ. Key figures such as Professors Zhao Gang, Li Yinan, and Władysław Miodunka were instrumental in fostering this relationship. The exchange includes student and faculty visits, joint projects, and the adaptation of Polish language teaching programs for Chinese students. This collaboration has led to a deeper understanding and appreciation of both Polish and Chinese cultures.
