Hotel Gromada Centrum in Warsaw was the host of this year's celebration of the International Day of Cooperatives, which took place on July 2nd at the initiative of the National Cooperative Council. The event gathered representatives of the cooperative community, state administration, parliament, academia, and foreign guests.
The annual holiday of cooperators is an opportunity to summarize the activities of the cooperative movement, thank for the year-round work, and honor people particularly deserving for the development of cooperatives in Poland.
Among the participants were the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Stefan Krajewski, representatives of the Parliamentary Team for Cooperatives – Senator Waldemar Witkowski, Senator Jolanta Hibner, Senator Krzysztof Kwiatkowski, and Member of Parliament Kamil Wnuk, chairman of the Parliamentary Team for Housing Cooperatives. The Marshal of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland Włodzimierz Czarzasty was represented by Jerzy Woźniak – Deputy Head of the Chancellery of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, the Deputy Marshal of the Sejm Piotr Zgorzelski – his assistant Alex Szczyrba, and the President of the Republic of Poland Karol Nawrocki was represented by the President's Advisor Prof. Dariusz Dudek.
A special guest of the event was also a delegation from the Korean federation of agricultural cooperatives NACF – one of the largest cooperative organizations in the world, which emphasized the international dimension of this year's celebrations.
During the ceremony, cooperative decorations and awards were presented in the contests "Leader of Polish Cooperatives", "Manager-Cooperator", "Primus 2026", "Golden Laurel of Cooperatives" and "Local Government-Cooperator." The winners of the annual competition for research and scientific works devoted to cooperatives were also announced.
Information was also conveyed during the meeting about the signing by the President of the Republic of Poland of the act concerning student cooperatives.
The celebrations were also an opportunity to present the offer of the Gromada Group. The promotional stand showed, among others, proposals for stays with treatments at Hotel Gromada Medical SPA in Busko-Zdrój, summer vacation offers in Międzyzdroje, as well as the offer of other hotels and facilities belonging to the Gromada Group.
After the official part, the participants met at the hotel's patio "Zielony Zakątek" (Green Nook), where conversations and exchanges of experience continued in a relaxed atmosphere with specially prepared grilled dishes. It was an excellent opportunity to integrate representatives of various cooperative environments and informal meetings with guests from the country and abroad.
We thank the National Cooperative Council for their trust and the opportunity to organize this important event at Hotel Gromada Centrum. We are glad that once again we were able to host representatives of the cooperative environment from all over Poland and foreign guests.
