Summary/Abstract: The goal of this article is to show which stimulators and inhibitors have influence on the development of confidence in European secondary education. It defines what is a stimulator and what is an inhibitor of confidence in the adoption of pro-European measures in secondary education, i.e. what makes teachers adopt, or not, pro-European measures or initiatives. The article presents the political, social, technological and civilizing changes which took place in Poland in the last years, as well as the concepts of confidence and European education. It defines the concept of pro-European ttitudes, because European education consists not only in the measures adopted by the teachers. The measures adopted by secondary school teachers in terms of European education are intended to develop attitudes, a positive approach to others, but also the respect for different cultures, raditions, confessions and sexual orientations. This includes teaching young people to be open to the world and to Europe, to deal with the new reality. The next part of the study analysis the secondary school as a place of European education as well as the stimulators and inhibitors of confidence with regard to European secondary education. The social, technological and civilizing changes in Poland in recent years contributed to the promotion of the idea of confidence in European secondary education, the more so as we belong to many structures of the western world, including the European Union.
