How is the world changing on our eyes? Where are the limits of progress and development? Do values, concepts of "good" and "evil" are still relevant?
What will the world look like after a pandemic? What kind of crises are we facing and will we face? What wounds will we heal in the future?
What kind of future are we building for our children?
Is a world with no borders still possible? Borders that mark the end of progress, as well as those that separate us from others?
The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and the Evangelical School of Theology together with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Poland would like to invite you to an online debate which will take place on 20th November (Saturday) at 5pm.
