On 29 May 2025, the sixth edition of the educational workshops took place, this time under a new name: Meetings with Mr Cogito. These workshops are dedicated in particular to secondary school pupils and Year 7 primary school pupils.

It Is Safe to Think

The central theme of the It Is Safe to Think workshops was broadly understood security—both the external and internal security of the Polish state, as well as individual, personal safety. The aim of the meeting was to inspire reflection and to emphasise the importance of raising awareness regarding safe conduct, as well as the crucial role that critical and rational thinking plays in this process.

The guests of the meeting included: Brig. Gen. Tomasz Baran (Podkarpackie Provincial Commander of the State Fire Service), Dr Krzysztof Jarosz (Starost of Rzeszów), Associate Professor Maciej Milczanowski (University of Rzeszów), Col. Marcin Zalewski (21st Podhale Rifles Brigade), Senior Brig. Dr Eng. Witold Skomra (Advisor to the Director of the Government Centre for Security), and Tomasz Dziumak (Director of the Przemyśl Delegation of the Board of Education).

We thank all those present for their active participation and invite everyone to future editions of this inspiring event, organised by the Podkarpackie Board of Education and the Institute of Philosophy (Faculty of Education and Philosophy at the University of Rzeszów). The workshops are held under the patronage of the Podkarpackie Voivode and the President of the City of Rzeszów.
