For 30 Years — In Support of Dialogue Between Nations and Cultures 06.02.2026
Villa Decius is a laboratory of ideas and good practices with a European reach, where the tradition of Renaissance humanism meets the challenges of the contemporary world. We develop solutions in the fields of public diplomacy and cultural management making culture vibrant, accessible, and responsive to change.
"The year 2025 marked the thirtieth consecutive year in which Villa Decius drew on the rich heritage of this site, expanded its nationwide impact, and further strengthened its international recognition. The outcome of Villa Decius's work is the reinforcement of a critical infrastructure of empathy—a network of relationships among institutions, artists, and cultural audiences, resilient in the face of contemporary crises of values, trust, and agency.Media visibility, together with Villa Decius’ engagement in international networks, expert panels, and leading sector conferences, consolidates our position—as an institution based in Krakow, Poland—on the map of European cultural exchange and public diplomacy".
