Summary/Abstract: The political changes in the 1990s in Europe and the enlargement of the European Union result in intensified migration movements. Poles are among the nations who migrate most actively. Taking this situation into account, the Council of Europe has developed assumptions of the linguistic and education policy recommended to the European Union Member States. The Republic of Poland has been implementing the recommendations related to the national minorities living in Poland, including the German minority, to a large extent. Unfortunately, the German policy with this respect is not based on the reciprocity principle. The Polish language and culture promotion programme in Germany presented in this paper requires considerable effort and funds on the part of both Poland and Germany in the sphere of education.
