About
It all began in 2018 with an idea to create an inclusive environment for Canadians of Polish descent who live outside of the general Polish community. Since then, Konekt has grown into a thriving community that offers its members exposure to Polish culture, and an opportunity to network with like-minded professionals.
Our Goals
Create
sophisticated, modern and carefully curated spaces and experiences for socializing, community-building and camaraderie.
Serve
and celebrate a wide range of Canadians of Polish descent who come from diverse backgrounds regardless of their history, upbringing, religious affiliation, identity, gender, race, sexual orientation or knowledge of the Polish language.
Offer
educational opportunities for networking, skills building and professional development such as mentorship and seminars.
Support
and market a variety of auxiliary events and opportunities organized within the broader Polish-Canadian community, including but not limited to: festivals, cultural events, academic lectures, government events, etc.
Highlight
the relevance of Polishness for navigating life's important decisions and everyday life for the maintenance of Polish heritage, traditions and historical memory in Canada.
Include
persons of all shapes and sizes who want to learn and immerse themselves in Polish customs and traditions.
