Usytuowanie i kształtowanie budynków zespołów kolegiów jezuickich w aspekcie kształcenia umiejętności występowania publicznego wychowanków szkół zakonnych

Teaching young people the art of discussion and performing in public was the key element in the Jesuit school programme called Ratio Studiorum. The importance of training the art of delivering speeches had its reflection in shaping architecture of Jesuit college buildings. The intention to provide proper space which will allow for delivering theatrical performances and other public acts was clearly visible in applied urban solutions and shaping nearby surrounding of the church and the college building. Church interiors, town squares, college courtyards and school auditoriums were basic places where students delivered so called public acts. Consequently forming and placing auditoriums within the school building had a significant influence on its form and internal functional solutions.
