About the Program

As part of the Program, study visits to Poland are organized for people from Eastern Europe, South Caucasus, and Central Asia. The aim of the Program is to show the realities of Poland and the European Union, while at the same time developing and strengthening professional and personal contacts between leaders from Eastern Europe and their Polish partners. The Program’s offer is addressed to students and professionals from a range of fields and specialties.

Study Tours to Poland Program (STP) was a co-implementer of eight editions of The Warsaw Euro-Atlantic Summer Academy. Since 2021, the main WEASA implementer is the College of Europe in Natolin. The project is co-financed by PAFF through the STP Program as well as the College of Europe in Natolin and the German Marshall Fund in Poland.

The thematic scope of the Academy includes systemic transformation, European integration, and transatlantic relations; and since 2017 the leading theme of WEASA has been digital challenges, especially cybersecurity.
