Seminaria parkowe – działania na rzecz ratowania Europejskiego Dziedzictwa Kulturowego

The concept of park seminars originated in the former German Democratic Republic. At the park seminar in 1976 in Wiesenburg, in addition to presentations and park walks, special lectures were held for the first time along with park maintenance activities that the public could take part in. After the reunification of Germany, the idea of organizing park seminars like those in Saxony spread to other regions of the country. When Poland joined the European Union, seminars were run there as well, like the seminar in Muskau Park or in parks in Morawa, Brody, Kliczków, or Iłowa Żagańska. Park seminars have become a custom in some places, such as Brody, Kromlau or Morawa. Located in Brody in the Lubuskie Province, the estate which was once owned by Heinrich, Count von Brühl (1700–1763), recently hosted the 4th International Park Seminar at the end of October. The purpose of this paper is to promote the idea of park seminars in Poland, with emphasis on Lower Silesia.
