About us

Global Political Network Foundation was established in 2019 on the initiative of Karolina Zbytniewska, editor-in-chief of Euractiv.pl. Euractiv.pl's editors are active in the field of education by, among other things, running the Young Leaders for the Future of Europe (YLFE) academy. Establishing the Foundation is the next step in acting for the benefit of society.

We would like to be an independent center for analysis and exchange of ideas constantly focusing on European and global politics. At the same time, we have a more specific goal of focusing on the threats posed by Russia's hybrid activities and the resilience of the defense and security policies of Poland in particular, but also of the Baltic states, which - collectively - we call the "Baltic Four."

Among the main goals of the GPN Foundation is to provide citizens, journalists, activists and politicians with reports, analysis and research on national and international politics, with a particular focus on Poland and the Baltic states, as well as the challenges that Europe's eastern neighborhood poses to the EU and the Western community of values. Other activities of the Foundation concern:

• Evaluating and contextualizing the activities of politicians and local government officials,
• Promoting education and social activism,
• Various forms of dialogue between communities representing different views,
• Promoting international cooperation,
• Promoting liberal democracy that allows for informed political decision-making and patriotic attitudes,
• Promote policy coherence with other actors at the national and international levels.

The activities of the Global Politcal Network Foundation in the long term are expected to allow the formation of informed political decisions of citizens, which will affect the development of Polish society and strengthen the position of Poland in the international arena.
