Young Editorial Board
About the Programme
Young Editorial Board is an initiative of the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation aimed at students interested in journalism, culture and Polish-German relations. The programme creates a space for developing journalistic skills and deepening knowledge about Polish-German cooperation.
Participants take part in workshops led by experienced journalists. The classes focus on creating event coverage, conducting interviews and preparing engaging content for social media.
Young editors visit Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation projects across Poland. They work on their own texts, interviews and reviews. An important element of the programme is mentoring and meetings at media editorial offices in Poland and Germany.
The programme lasts approximately one year. It concludes with the Young Editorial Board’s participation in the Polish-German Forum and the preparation of coverage from the discussions and meetings taking place during this event.

MoreCan Children Use the Internet Safely? — Ewa Stasierska

More“Not Us, It Was Them.” March 1968
The 50th anniversary of the March events, like many historical events in Poland, sparks controversy. Besides student protests, the anti-censorship movement, and power struggles at the top of the ruling party (PZPR), this period also saw the last great wave of emigration of Polish Jews. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, with his words in Munich, unequivocally defined the state rhetoric on these events: the Polish state did not exist at the time, and the communists were responsible for the expulsion of Poles of Jewish origin. On the other hand, there are interpretations that the anti-Semitic slogans fell on fertile ground, and the claim that "not us, it was them" is very convenient but not entirely true.
