General Information
ARABIA.pl Association is an NGO established in 2002 in Warsaw. There is an online dimension of our activity – the biggest Internet portal in Polish about the Arab world (as well as an Arabic one about Poland) and an “offline” one – organising of workhops, seminars, and other events related to the Arab world. Estimated resources are rather moderate (approx. 20.000 USD yearly), there is only one employee – rest of the work is done voluntarily. ARABIA.pl collaborates with scientific institutions (Warsaw University, Lodz University), Arab Embassies in Poland (Kuwaiti, Saudi) and other organisations (Polish Comittee for UNESCO). Funding depends on the project – no regular funding is provided.
Mission and Objectives

Our main goal is to spread information about the Arab world. We are doing it both though the Internet portal as well as by organising many events aiming at presentation of the Arab world from another viewpoint – through music, art, culture, society issues or economy. Our activities are addressed especially to the youth (mostly students).

Main Projects / Activities

• The Internet portal about the Arab world available at www.arabia.pl
• Arab Days – a cycle of seminars at Polish universities (in Warsaw, Danzig, Lodz...) combined with Oriental parties afterwards
• Workshops for secondary school students aiming at modification of negative stereotypes of Arabs and Islam
• Charity events (for victims of South Asian earthquake or Iraqi children)
• Scientific seminars and conferences,
• Exhibitions of contemporary Arab art, Arab fashion shows and movie displays
• Researches and analysis of polish oil companies.
