Spheres of Spiritual Life - Praca Zbiorowa

The new volume of the “Interculturalism and Intercultural education” Series is the results of studies conducted in a nationally, religiously and culturally diversified environment – the Polish-Czech borderland in Cieszyn, Silesia. Cieszyn in Silesia is situated in two countries – Poland and the Czech Republic and is divided by the border on the Olza River. The studies presented in the book are conducted among learners from different environments: a) Poles – school learners from the Polish part of Cieszyn, Silesia and b) learners of Polish nationality (or of Polish family roots or coming from mixed families) living in the Czech Republic educated in schools with Polish as the teaching language in Czech Cieszyn (the Czech part of the border town Cieszyn). The articles refer to three groups – Poles educated in Poland, Czechs educated in the Czech Republic, and learners of Czech schools with Polish as the teaching language. The traditions, conditions of life and experiences of each group are compared in various ways.
