Abstract
The aim of the study was to verify the national identity of young people from the last years of secondary schools and to learn about their assessment of Poland’s functioning in the European Union. One hundred and fifty five persons attending the third grade of a general secondary school and the third and fourth grade of vocational secondary school located in the city of Mława were qualified for the study. The survey was conducted via a paper and online questionnaire. The results showed that all respondents associate the most strongly with the Polish identity, whereas European identity complements their national identification. Young people are also positively inclined towards the European Union. The vast majority of respondents believed that Poland would not have been able to achieve its current economic development without the support of the EU.
