On November 14, a debate took place in Wrocław at Barbara / Wrocław Culture Institute, focusing on the transformations in Poland after 1989 and its path to NATO and the European Union.

The panel featured:

  • Monika Sus – political scientist, professor at the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and visiting professor at the Centre for International Security Studies at Hertie School in Berlin.
  • Łukasz Kamiński – historian, director of the Ossolineum National Institute, former president of the Institute of National Remembrance, and researcher at the Institute of History at the University of Wrocław.
  • Katarzyna Kaczorowska (moderator) – journalist and reporter contributing to Magazyn TVN24, Newsweek, Tygodnik Powszechny, and editor-in-chief of Głos Uczelni, the journal of Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences.

The debate was attended by 84 participants, including students and teachers from Wrocław’s secondary schools.

The past days in Krzyżowa were a special time for reflection, remembrance, and dialogue.
The three-day celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Reconciliation Mass in Krzyżowa brought together participants from Poland, Germany, and other countries, who collectively celebrated years of dedication to Polish-German reconciliation, cooperation, and building understanding in Europe.

On Friday, October 25, 2024, we had the pleasure of attending the final gala of the international essay competition "Women in Resistance", held at the Zeitgeschichtliches Forum in Leipzig. This competition was one of the many initiatives within the three-year project “Female Stories Unheard – European Remembrance of Women in Resistance Against National Socialism”, carried out in collaboration with Bildungswerk Sachsen (Leipzig) and Antikomplex (Prague).

Out of the essays submitted, the jury selected 10 outstanding works, with three earning a spot on the podium:
🏅 1st Place: "Invisible Resistance: Batsheva's Story" by Shania Timpe (Germany)
🥈 2nd Place: "Dolly. Buried in Time" by Amelia Maj (Poland)
🥉 3rd Place: "I Am a Woman – I Know. A Lesson on Femininity" by Weronika Doburcka (Poland)

From October 21 to 26, 2024, 60 students from Środa Śląska (Poland), Kamionka Buska (Ukraine), and Saterland (Germany) came together for an engaging week at the International Youth Meeting Center in Krzyżowa. Through language and integration games, tours of Krzyżowa, and self-organized evening activities, they built meaningful connections and got to know one another better.

The program included excursions to Świdnica and the Polish partner town of Środa Śląska. During creative workshops, participants explored elements of folklore from their three countries, designing their own interpretations on bags. Scrapbooking sessions provided an opportunity to craft memory albums using various natural papers and materials.
