The use of comparative research allowed to describe facts, phenomena, and processes taking place in communities living in three neighbouring countries – Belarus, Ukraine, and the Czech Republic. Changes taking place in the sense of identity under the influence of various factors contribute to the formation of a model of multidimensional identity of young people belonging to the Polish national minority.The publication is addressed to theoreticians of intercultural education, teachers, educators, activists of minority organizations, as well as to all those who are interested in the issues of Polish national minorities and the functioning of education for minority groups.
