Are we a society open to dialogue? How does political polarisation affect our lives? What practical steps could we take to strengthen our sense of community?
On 1 June, a meeting with Wawrzyniec Smoczyński took place, under the title: "The condition of public life in Poland".
The meeting was attended by over 80 people.
It was the first of a series of meetings organised as part of the project 'Laboratory of Dialogue' carried out by the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe together with the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Poland.
