The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe
together with partners:
the Freya von Moltke Foundation for the New Kreisau
and the Konrad Adenauer Foundation
invite you to participate in the program entitled
„8 x Reconciliation”,
commemorating
30th anniversary of signing
the The Polish-German Treaty of Good Neighbourship and Friendly Cooperation
The treaty, concluded between Poland and Germany on 17th of June 1991, made it possible to enormously develop cultural, scientific and regional cooperation and laid the foundations for intensive youth meetings. With regard to Polish-German relations, the word "reconciliation" was used eight times in the treaty. Referring in a symbolic way to the content of the treaty, we invite you to participate in 8 jubilee events and to jointly reflect on how the treaty signed 30 years ago influenced our lives.
