Authors:

Abstract
The 200th anniversary of Kosciuszko’s death, which fell on October15, 2017, was an occasion for creating a special, international platform to share ideas on the unique cultural heritage and establish an intercultural dialogue for safeguarding both the ideas he advocated and the equally important material legacy associated with his life. It resulted in a number of values-oriented travels, rich in multicultural aspects, which can play a significant role in promoting the dialogue among cultures. Many sites in the US associated with the War of Independence have been recalled and visited quite often this year. They include the battlefields and fortifications, such as Fort Billingsport, Fort Mifflin, Fort Mercer, Ticonderoga which were crucial elements of the city’s defense system. Important events celebrating the anniversary took place at West Point Military Academy, USA. In Australia, the Bicentenary of Kosciuszko’s Death were celebrated, among others, by a group of Poles centered around Kosciuszko Heritage Inc. Their activities were a huge success on an international scale, especially the multicultural dialogue between that Polish Community and the Ngarigo people was highly appreciated by local and Polish authorities.
