Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the analysis of an online didactic project – promotional and educational – conducted thanks to the cooperation of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Georgia, the Polish Institute in Tbilisi and Polonicum of the University of Warsaw. This project is called “ĄĘ” – [Online] Polish Language Festival in Georgia. The aim of the festival, the 4th edition of which was held on March 15–18, 2022, is to create a database of materials for self-improvement of Polish language skills and learning about various aspects of Polish culture. The role of the festival goes beyond the educational goals. It is also an activity to integrate the community of people interested in the Polish language and culture. This article is an opportunity to ask questions on how to continue the project, based on contemporary research on linguistic and cultural education, and therefore with an emphasis on interculturality. To what extent is the knowledge of Georgia and the contexts related to this country necessary to conduct an educational event intended for this specific audience? How to plan and organize an online educational event and what can this act mean for building mutual relationships?
