COMMUNITY SERVICE
Since its founding, SGH has demonstrated sensitivity to the problems of public life. By responding to
present day needs, the School more easily establishes ties with institutions in the surrounding
community. These include: universities and other academic institutions, local government and
economic institutions, community and professional associations, creative associations, the Civil
Service, alumni living in Poland and abroad, as well as luminaries and institutions from the fields of
economics, culture and politics.
Developing these ties allows the School to fulfil its function as a centre of expertise for the
surrounding community. It also permits the School to transform and adapt its activities to better meet
the changing needs of the community it serves. It thus becomes a centre for creating cultural models
and disseminating values.

economy. Practical knowledge is considered an essential supplement to a theoretical education.
