Polish Youth Congress 2025

The Polish Youth Congress 2025 was a one-day conference organised by the Federation of Polish Student Societies in the UK in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London. The event took place on 9 November 2025 at Ognisko Polskie (The Polish Hearth Club) in London and brought together students, young professionals, community leaders, diplomats, entrepreneurs, and experts from a wide range of fields.

The Congress was designed to create a platform for dialogue on the opportunities and challenges facing young Poles in the United Kingdom and beyond. Throughout the day, participants engaged with topics spanning international finance, entrepreneurship, leadership, civil society, geopolitics, public affairs, and personal development. The programme featured keynote speeches, panel discussions, fireside conversations, and an interactive workshop focused on communication and public speaking skills.

Speakers included representatives of the Polish Embassy in London, experienced professionals from global financial institutions, entrepreneurs, policy experts, charity leaders, and representatives of the younger generation who are actively shaping the future of the Polish diaspora across Europe. The event encouraged the exchange of ideas, the sharing of experiences, and the development of meaningful professional and personal connections.

We extend our special thanks to Anna Tarnowska, Vice-Consul at the Consular and Polish Diaspora Section of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in London, for the enormous effort she put into organising the Congress together with us.

To commemorate Poland's National Independence Day, the programme concluded with Fryderyk Chopin's Sonata No. 2 in B-flat minor, performed by Roksana Dąbkowska.

The Congress was also held in the spirit of Poland's National Independence Day. The closing piano concert provided a fitting cultural tribute, linking discussions about Poland's future with a celebration of the country's rich cultural heritage.

The Polish Youth Congress 2025 demonstrated the strength, ambition, and engagement of young Poles abroad, while reinforcing the Federation's mission of connecting and empowering Polish students and young professionals across the United Kingdom.
