  4. Counteracting a false narrative that makes it difficult to build lasting partnerships between public institutions and civic society in the area of mutual relations.
  5. Promoting the Eastern Partnership as an important component of European eastern policy, which contributes to building political and social ties, economic and cultural relations between the European Union and the countries of the Eastern Partnership region.
  6. Popularizing knowledge as part of conference and publishing activities in the field of history, politics, culture and socio-economic affairs of the "Lublin Triangle" countries.
  7. Promoting the formula of the strategic partnership of the Three Nations within the framework of the " Lublin Triangle".

During this project, a series of three international scientific webinars under the common name "Past, present and future Polish-Ukrainian relations in the context of the subjectivity of Central Europe ” was carried out, to which 29 experts from Poland and Ukraine were involved, and a website promoting the idea of the “Lublin Triangle” was established as well as the profile on FB/Facebook.
