It will be a venue for events involving visiting speakers, exchange program alumni and American Studies and English language teachers. More American Corners are expected to open throughout Poland in the coming years. The American Corner in Łódź will operate in partnership between the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw and Łódź University.
