Spirit of the Young Festival in Niemodlin
The future belongs to those who have the courage to reach for it. On 18–20 September 2026 the Ducal Castle in Niemodlin will become the venue of the first edition of the Spirit of the Young Festival 2026. These will be three days of meetings, debates, workshops, sports activities and cultural events united by the idea that Poland’s future must not only be described, but above all consciously shaped.
The “Independence March” Association is one of the co-organisers of the event. We invite all young people who do not want to remain passive observers of reality and are ready to take responsibility for the future of our national community.
Spirit of the Young Festival 2026 – an idea followed by deeds
Spirit of the Young was born from the conviction that a mere declaration of attachment to certain values is not enough. An idea without action remains only an opinion, while action without an ideological foundation quickly loses its proper direction.
The festival is meant to bring together people who can think boldly, act consistently and build lasting bonds.
Tradition will not be a museum exhibit here, but a living source of inspiration.
A modern form is to serve the transmission of values that remain unchanged: responsibility for the nation, attachment to Polish culture, readiness to serve and work for a Greater Poland.
This is a space in which thought meets uncompromising action, and common work becomes the beginning of a true community.
Four pillars of the Spirit of the Young Festival
The programme of the event will be built around four mutually complementary areas.
Idea
Debates, lectures and conversations will concern the most important challenges facing Poland and the young generation. Participants will take up topics related to politics, history, culture, identity and the future of the nation.
We are not interested, however, in another meeting during which the audience is only to listen to guests speaking from the stage. Spirit of the Young is to be a space for an honest, demanding and free of unnecessary courtesies exchange of views.
Deed
An important part of the festival will be workshops, presentations of social initiatives and meetings with representatives of organisations involved in patriotic, cultural and social activity.
Participants will be able to get to know circles worth joining, acquire practical skills and establish contacts allowing them to start new actions after the end of the festival.
Sport
Hardness of spirit must go hand in hand with hardness of body. Therefore the programme will not lack physical activity, sports competition and common effort.
Sport teaches perseverance, responsibility for the team, accepting defeats and fighting to the end. These are qualities needed by everyone who wants to act effectively for the good of the community.
Culture
Music, art and accompanying events will create a space for creators who want to shape the language and aesthetics of the new generation of the Polish right.
Culture is not merely an addition to politics and social life. It is precisely through it that a community tells about itself, transmits its values and builds an image of its own future.
For whom is Spirit of the Young?
The festival is addressed primarily to young people close to national and right-wing sensitivity. We invite social activists, students, entrepreneurs, athletes, publicists, cultural creators, volunteers and people involved in the life of their local communities.
Spirit of the Young is also a place for those who are only looking for their own path, crystallising their views and wanting to meet people ready for a serious conversation about Poland.
It does not matter whether you have been active for many years or are only considering the first step. The most important thing is readiness for development, cooperation and taking responsibility.
We are a co-organiser of the festival
The involvement of the “Independence March” Association in the organisation of the Spirit of the Young Festival is a natural consequence of our year-round activity.
The Independence March cannot be limited solely to one, albeit extremely important, manifestation organised on 11 November. Our task is also to build a lasting environment, develop Polish national thought, conduct social activity and raise the next generation of responsible Poles.
We want to create a space for people who are not satisfied with commenting on reality. We need a generation capable of organising, leading, creating its own institutions and effective work for the nation.
Registration for the Spirit of the Young Festival is already underway
The number of places is limited, therefore participation in the event requires prior registration. The organisers have prepared several packages differing, among other things, in the scope of meals, form of accommodation and additional benefits.
Detailed information and the registration form can be found on the official website of the event:
Register for the Spirit of the Young Festival
After submitting the form the organisers will contact the participant by email and provide further information regarding participation and payment.
Support the organisation of the first edition of the festival
Organising a three-day event for several hundred young people is a large logistical and financial undertaking. Funds are needed, among other things, for preparing the technical facilities, accommodation, meals, the sports and cultural programme and appropriate conditions for the participants.
Every donation, regardless of the amount, helps create an event that may become the beginning of a lasting community of people of idea and deed.
