The president announced talks about the future of the country combined with sports and concerts.
Invitation from the seaside residence
Karol Nawrocki announced an initiative in a video published on the X site, in which he addressed the young generation directly. “I want to perceive to your ideas, talk about matters that are crucial to you, look at the planet with your eyes,” the president said. The gathering was scheduled for 29 and 30 August at the President's residence in Jurat, Hel Peninsula.

Principles and security
The organizers announced that the participants would wear visible identifiers, and the State Protection Service is to watch over the course of the meeting. The residence will have a ban on alcohol and drugs. The rules besides require compliance with standards of social coexistence and respect for the rights of another guests. These solutions are typical of events organized under the supervision of a state institution, although in the presidential property they gain additional weight. Participants are to accept the rules before arrival, which is simply a condition for entering the estate.
Sports, concerts and talks
The program is designed to combine amusement with content. "It will be 2 days full of sports, concerts, exceptional attractions and surprises, but most of all talks about the future of Poland", Nawrocki announced. A detailed list of artists or a precise agenda has not yet been disclosed. The Jurat residence occupies a vast area covering the forest and buildings on the shore of the Baltic Sea, and its value is estimated at millions of zlotys. According to available descriptions, the property extends to about 150 hectares, most of which are forest. This place has seldom been made available to a wider audience, and the exact plan of both days is to be presented closer to the gathering date.
A motion towards a generation that is hard to attract
The beginning of a presidential property for twenty-year-olds is simply a clear signal that Nawrocki wants to build his own channel of contact with the youngest citizens. The invitation is addressed to a generation of politicians who have been trying to rise public concerns for years, usually with average effect. The choice of a seaside residence, a place associated with the office of the head of state, gives the gathering a rank beyond the vacation festival. Registration through the authoritative state portal besides makes contact with participants bypass organization structures and editorial filters. The presidential law firm thus gains a direct list of stakeholders, which it can usage for subsequent initiatives. Whether talks about the future of the country will translate into a more lasting engagement of young people, will only show attendance in late August.
