'''Polski Związek Kulturalno-Oświatowy''' (commonly known as '''PZKO'''); ({{lang-cs|Polský kulturně-osvětový svaz}}), (meaning "Polish Cultural and Educational Union") is a Polish organization in the [[Czech Republic]]. It represents the [[Polish minority in the Czech Republic]] together with the [[Congress of Poles in the Czech Republic|Congress of Poles]]. PZKO is the largest Polish organization with largest membership in the Czech Republic, although the number of members is decreasing as a result of demographic decline of the Polish community.

== Activities ==
 
The goals of PZKO are to promote and shield various cultural and educational activities of the Polish minority. PZKO organizes and supports many activities, including clubs (women's, senior's, youth's), lectures, concerts, excursions, dance, music and folklore groups, choirs, art groups, exhibitions, various sport and social activities etc. The largest and most famous event shielded by the organization, is the annual ''[[Gorolski Święto]]'', in [[Jablunkov]], another large event organized by PZKO is ''Festiwal PZKO''. PZKO also closely cooperates with Polish schools in [[ZaolzieTrans-Olza]], and with the Polish Scene (ensemble) of [[Cieszyn Theatre]], in [[Český Těšín]].
 
For its activities PZKO was awarded several awards, including the ''[[Wojciech Korfanty]] Award'' in 2001 for achievements and merits in preserving the Polishness of [[Silesia]].<ref>Zwrot 2009, 26.</ref>
 
PZKO comprises local branches, called MKs (Miejscowe Koła) which exist in almost all municipalities and villages in [[Zaolzie]]Trans-Olza. Most of these local branches have their own buildings, known as Domy PZKO (PZKO Houses), which serve as a place of various cultural and other events.
 
General Committee (Zarząd Główny) is housed in [[Český Těšín]] (Czeski Cieszyn). Its current chairman is Helena Legowicz.
