According to Mr Jarubas’ opinion the visit of the guests representing almost all EU member states will serve “as a substantial promotion of the Swietokrzyskie region capital city as well of the whole region; it will also create a chance to present Kielce as an education centre which develops dynamically and to make the guests acquainted with the self governments’ initiative towards providing school with modern school teaching aids and resources”

The Committee is currently composed of 344 members and the same number of alternate members.
