Summary/Abstract: The article presents selected forms of interaction between society and the Opolskie authorities with Poles living in Zaolzie, with focus on the cultural-educational sphere. The author of this study describes joint activities undertaken by organisations in Opolian Silesia, such as the Opolskie Cultural-Educational Association, the Association of Friends of Opolskie and regional associations from individual towns in the Opolskie region, with Polish institutions working in Zaolzie which are connected with the Polish Cultural-Educational Society. Information is drawn from documents from the National Archives in Opole, the Archive of the Union of the Polish Cultural-Educational Society, the Opolskie Cultural-Educational Association, periodicals and chronicles of regional associations. These documents describe common initiatives and cultural contacts, among others business trips, exchanges of artistic groups and publishers.
