Summary

The founder of Polish regionalist movement, Aleksander Patkowski, perceived this movement as a sum of different forms of the collective activity of local communities. The programme of Polish regionalism included economic activisation, self-government, conscious knowledge of countryside, stimulation of educational and publishing work in particular regional micro-organisms. One of the forms of this activity included Popular Regional Universities (PUR). The present article is devoted to the activity of the Stanisław Konarski PUR in Sandomierz.
