Kurpiowszczyzna is one of the most interesting ethnographic regions, with a center of original, well-preserved and carefully cultivated Kurpie folk culture. The image of the Kurpie village is the result of centuries of human activity. Over the centuries there have been transformations of the landscape, based on the adaptation of the natural environment to cultivate the land and the gradual establishment of human settlements, which have given the modern image.

Val d’Europe is a new city created in the Paris region as a result of a public-private partnership between the French State and Euro Disney Associées in 1987. The city, envisioned with a target population of 60,000, currently has a population of 35,000, and is located as the last in a 40-kilometer-long band of the linear city of Marne-la-Vallée, a satellite of Paris. The city was founded as a base for Europe’s largest tourist complex, Euro Disney, welcoming 15,000,000 visitors a year, but has gradually become a self-sufficient, multifunctional organization.

High-speed rail (HSR) can lead to a renewed advantage of rail over road and air in intercity passenger transport. Therefore, the creation of a coherent network of high-speed rail lines in Poland and Mazovia makes sense, and the first step in this direction should be the development of a targeted, comprehensive program for the construction of these lines. Meanwhile, the findings of the plans for the construction of HSR in the Mazovia region to date are fragmentary, and moreover, controversial on many points.

On February 26 this year, an interdisciplinary closed-door conference dedicated to the 105th anniversary of the incorporation of Warsaw’s former suburbs took place at the Museum of the 10th Pavilion of the Warsaw Citadel – one of the branches of the Museum of Independence in Warsaw. I would like to remind here that in April 1916, eight months after the Russians left the city and the Germans took their place, acting on the inspiration of civic movements, Governor General Hans von Beseler issued a decree expanding the borders of Warsaw, previously – relegated by the Russians to the status of one of the many governorate cities of the Roman Empire and one of a number of Vistula fortresses erected on Polish soil since the 1830s.

The Palace of Youth in Warsaw was put into use 65 years ago, in April 1955, as part of the Palace of Culture and Science building, erected in the Socialist Realist style. It was an extraordinary attraction at the time, offering children opportunities for developing passions and interests that were not available elsewhere. For example, the indoor swimming pool at the Palace of Youth was, and still is, the only swimming pool in the Mazovian province where it is possible to practice water jumping. At the same time, it is one of the few swimming pools in Poland where it is possible to practice this discipline in the full range of competition throughout the year.
