During three days of talks, workshops and group work, people participating in the Krzyżowa conference 'The future begins today...The new reality of international exchanges with the young in the lead role' tried to diagnose the challenges of the times of change and, above all, to develop solutions that would help optimise international youth meetings.
The diagnosis was helped by a workshop in which the topics of intercultural exchanges were looked at from a psychological, educational, geopolitical or technological perspective by such experts as:
dr Anna Kubiak - Psychologist, works with children and youth and their families in a systemic approach, assistant professor at the SWPS University in Poznań;
Prof. Dr. Jacek Pyżalski - researcher, pedagogue, trainer, professor at the Faculty of Educational Studies of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, works for modern, youth-friendly education;
Prof. Dr. Monika Sus - political scientist, associate professor at the Polish Academy of Sciences and visiting professor at the Centre for International Security at the Hertie School in Berlin, her research focuses on international politics, in particular the foreign, security and defence policy of the European Union;
