On 10 December 2024, a seven-day seminar entitled ‘Remembrance, Understanding, Future’ will commence in Krzyżowa and Wrocław, uniting young participants from the Western Balkans—Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Serbia—alongside their peers from Poland and Germany.
The aim is to bring closer the experience of Polish-German reconciliation after the Second World War, overcoming the burdens and traumas of the past, and to identify contemporary examples of Polish-German dialogue, in order to reflect together with the participants on whether and to what extent they can be an inspiration for other nations seeking to understand each other despite a burdensome past.
