From 9-11 June 2023, the Bosch Alumni Forum met for the second time in Krzyżowa. This time the focus was on the topic: Envisioning the Future in Times of Emergencies. Approximately 60 former scholarship holders of the Robert Bosch Foundation from all over the world came together in Krzyżowa with their families. Some of the staff and Board members of the Krzyżowa Foundation were also present. Together, topics and methods from among the group were discussed in open forums and thus perspectives and experiences were exchanged. The question came up whether the crisis-like nature of the present is the new normal or whether stability over so many years was also the old abnormal. Despite such gloomy topics, optimism dominated and many saw new opportunities emerging from the crises. What is certain is that new key skills and approaches are needed to prepare societies for the new challenges. 

Parallel to the exciting programme of the adults, the international group of children played and did handicrafts in the Krzyżowa Foundation’s kindergarten, which opened its doors especially for the Bosch Alumni Forum. The many multilingual children helped with communication within the group. In the evening, the impressions of the day were exchanged around the campfire, under the glow of the stars and the moon. But there was also plenty of dancing and music this weekend.
