Folk High Schools in the Educational Work Concepts of rev. Antoni Ludwiczak
Abstract
The sketch familiarizes the readers with the conceptual-organizational and popularization work of
rev. Antoni Ludwiczak to develop civic education and after- and non-formal educational work in
local environments, done by him for four decades of the first half of the 20th century, and his extraordinary
– although a bit forgotten today – role in shaping independent Polish adult education in
the first years after regaining independence in 1918.
The article pays special attention to that educator connected with the Catholic Church and Folk
Reading Rooms Society in terms of propagating in the Polish territory the Scandinavian idea and
concept of work of boarding folk high schools, and to the successful attempt of its adaptation and
implementation in Wielkopolska (Polish) rural communities (Dalki n. Gniezno, 1921).
The final part of the papers shows the impact of educational experiments of rev. A. Ludwiczak in
Folk High School in Dalki on popularization and development of the entire Polish folk high schools
movement in the twenty year period between the two World Wars, and on formation of civic and
patriotic attitudes of Polish residents of rural areas.
