In Osaka, Radosław Tyszkiewicz, President of the Foundation, met with members of the Ni-Po Salon organization, which brings together individuals interested in deepening friendship and cooperation with Poland. Ni-Po Salon was established in 1999 as an initiative of Japanese volunteers supporting Polish students coming to Kansai. For many years, members of Ni-Po Salon have annually invited one student from Poland for a one-year stay at Kobe University, providing support for living and travel expenses. This time, the joint meeting was attended by a new scholarship recipient from the University of Warsaw. As part of their activities, members of Ni-Po Salon organize social gatherings and lectures related to Poland, music concerts, and trips to Poland for the Chopin Competition. Once a year, Ni-Po Salon publishes its bulletin. www.niposalon.com
