- The future of UK-EU cooperation on Justice and Home Affairs from the perspective of Poland
  This project examines the future of United Kingdom–European Union cooperation in Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) through an in-depth case study of Poland. It frames UK–EU relations as an evolving, practical partnership shaped by shared risks and operational needs rather than purely by post-Brexit institutional arrangements.

- Study to Quantify the Excise Gap

The main objective of the project is to strengthen digital resilience among children and young people in rural areas. Experiencing online risks has become an inherent part of growing up today. Research shows that children and adolescents most often cope with such challenges on their own, without support from adults. As contact with digital risks is unavoidable, it is important to develop children’s digital resilience – including critical thinking, coping strategies, and the ability to seek help when needed. The ability to deal with online challenges, referred to as digital resilience, is therefore a key competence for ensuring children’s safety and healthy development.

At present, the national school curriculum gives limited attention to media education, which means that its implementation largely depends on the initiative of individual educational institutions.

Children living in rural areas have less access to external educational programmes and extracurricular initiatives. The specific educational needs of this group – which represents more than 40% of children in Poland – also remain insufficiently researched. The project will involve primary schools located in urban–rural and rural municipalities in four regions of Poland (Lower Silesia, Mazovia, Lubuskie and Warmia–Masuria).

The project includes the following activities:

Conducting a needs assessment on digital resilience among 90 children through 6 research workshops, resulting in a report and recommendations for key stakeholders.

Designing and delivering 24 digital resilience workshops for 360 primary school students aged 10–15, covering topics such as emotional education, support systems and coping strategies.

Developing educational materials for teachers, including a handbook with exercise scenarios and a dialogue-based educational game aimed at strengthening children’s emotional, situational and relational awareness.

Disseminating the project results through the distribution of materials to schools and online outreach activities, including social media, webinars for educators and publicly available materials (a handbook and a printable version of the game).

The project is funded by the PZU Foundation.
