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.

What Will 2022 Bring for Europe?
The end of the year is an occasion to sum up the passing months and forecast the next year. Who will play a key role on the European chessboard, and where will the events of the coming months lead us? Who will be knocked off the board? Participants in the debate "What Awaits Us in Europe in 2022?" sought answers to these questions. Report by Szymon Majchrzak.

Bytom Remembers Beuthen
What is a bima? What does an aron ha-kodesh look like? What is a parochet used for?

Report by Karolina Wasiczek.
MoreI Dreamed of Death
Over 60 weeks on the bestseller list. Hundreds of thousands of copies sold in Poland and in Germany. "A Dream of an Okapi" — a novel with a title that can only be associated with the strange animal Okapi. It is hard to say more, perhaps only that the author's dreams of popularity have come true. What lies behind the phenomenon of this magical journey served up by Mariana Leky? Report by Martyna Rejczak.
MoreNowa Huta Transforms in Western Style

MoreThe Sun and Stars Are for Everyone
Thursday evening at the Oliwa Culture Town Hall in Gdańsk transported the audience of the concert "Angel of Twilight" to the 1920s. In an intimate setting, Joanna Stanecka and her ensemble performed the most famous songs of the talented singer and actress Marlene Dietrich. The concert moved to tears, prompted reflection, offered a closer look at the famous star of the interwar period and beyond, and — most importantly — delighted the audience. Report by Karolina Sołtaniuk.
MoreWhat Do the Stones Sing About?
Timika (Indonesia) and Leipzig (Germany) are separated by nearly 13,000 kilometres in a straight line, as well as a continent, official language, dominant religions and most of their history. What, then, connects them? Human greed. The performance "Gold & Coal" is not only a poignant story about the consequences of extractivism but also a confrontation with a reality in which "lack" only breeds further shortages. Report by Karolina Wasiczek from the performance "Gold & Coal" as part of Biennale Warszawa.
MoreThe Arduous Road to Freedom — Review of the Opera “Fidelio”
Love encountering numerous obstacles is a popular theme in literary and musical works, appearing constantly since antiquity. It might seem that an opera based on motifs of lovers' separation, false accusations and threats to life cannot surprise anyone anymore. Yet "Fidelio" keeps the audience in suspense until the curtain falls — or even longer… Report by Karolina Laskowska.

MoreArtists and Socialist Realism
Until 19 September 2021, we can still see the exhibition "Cold Revolution" at the Zachęta — National Gallery of Art. It is devoted to socialist realist art and the artists who created in the 1950s.

MoreLet’s Start Afresh by the Campfire — Festival of Jewish Culture in Kraków
"Kumzits" in Hebrew means a campfire. A central place, the heart of a community, where everyone is welcome and the warm atmosphere encourages the exchange of thoughts and memories.
