02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
EDUS Educational Society supports Polish and multilingual families, children, teachers and local communities in Scotland through educational, cultural and social initiatives. Our aim is to promote equal access to education, support bilingual children, strengthen cultural identity and improve the quality of Polish supplementary education abroad. We organise conferences, training sessions and workshops for teachers, parents and children. Over the past year we organised a Teachers’ Ball attended by around 250 teachers from Polish schools across Scotland, creating opportunities for networking, wellbeing and professional exchange. Our activities also included workshops for teachers on bilingual education, child protection and inclusive teaching practices, as well as workshops for parents raising bilingual children. We delivered historical and cultural workshops, children’s rights education sessions and organised the debate “Two Languages – One Generation”, focused on multilingualism,
