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.

Variations on Solidarity
Solidarity manifests itself in various forms. Sometimes it means donating money to charity. Other times, it means creating a space open to all. It can also be found in the sounds of a piano or the colours and shapes of drawings. All these facets of solidarity were present during the concert The People United Will Never Be Defeated, which took place as part of the Silence Music Festival. Report by Kinga Skotnicka

In the Flames of Identity
Fire can have both destructive and liberating potential. It makes patterns, norms and rigid frameworks burn. One must burn to be reborn from the ashes, or let everything burn to free oneself and openly transcend all boundaries. Report by Maja Owczarek
MoreA Rediscovered Pearl of Japanese Avant-Garde
Sounds of Silents Part II // "A Page of Madness," presented as part of the Sounds of Silents series named after Anna Sienkiewicz-Rogowska, organised by the Siostry Archeo collective and Futurospekcja Foundation, was a renewed unveiling of a silent cinema legend on the big screen. The screening attracted a crowd of enthusiasts for whom the projection was not only an encounter with Japanese classics but also an attempt to answer whether such a strongly avant-garde film from nearly a hundred years ago can still move us deeply, or whether it remains merely an intriguing curiosity. Report by Aleksandra Kozarska
MoreAn Avant-Garde That Does Not Lose Its Voice
Sounds of Silents Part I // On the penultimate weekend of September, Warsaw's Iluzjon cinema transported audiences into the world of black-and-white cinematography. As part of the third edition of Sounds of Silents, film enthusiasts could watch two full-length silent films with live music. The evening opened with "My Grandmother" – an extraordinary story about laughter as the most powerful tool in the fight against an unjust system. Report by Aleksandra Kozarska
MoreThe Jazz Sound of Nostalgia
The first days of September in Warsaw belonged to jazz lovers, in a modern, subtle edition. During the latest instalment of the ECM Warsaw Festival, audiences had the chance to discover the work of the finest jazz musicians from Norway, Germany and Italy. Report by Weronika Kamienska
MoreHello, AI
As we enter the era of artificial intelligence and the technologisation of practically every area of human life, one cannot help but ask where the future of humanity is heading in this brave new world. Is there even a place for us in it? Will artificial intelligence replace us, proving better and more efficient than the work of human hands and minds? The performance "Chatbot Challenge" tries to grapple with these questions, provoking reflection on whether the human future lies in coexistence with machines, or in a struggle to preserve our own identity. Report by Zuzanna Czachowska
MoreDialogue in a Border City
The first edition of the literary festival "City with a River" in Przemysl transformed the San River – which forms the border between Poland and Ukraine – into a unique meeting place. Over four days, at the very spot that separates the two countries, Poles and Ukrainians engaged in dialogue about what unites us. Report by Wiktor Zalewski
MoreA City of Two Identities
Imagine a city that, despite a raging war, seems to be a safe haven, where people live suppressing any thought of the danger surrounding them. This merely apparent illusion of calm finally collapses when, in January 1945, six weeks of fierce fighting reduce half the city to rubble. This end – and simultaneously a new beginning – is told by the exhibition "Marienburg–Malbork. 1945. End and Beginning." Report by Mikolaj Chomka
MoreJazz at the Palace
Przelewice. On most days, an ordinary, small Polish village. It surrounds a true treasure – extensive arboretum gardens with a palace at their centre. For one August evening, the village transformed into the jazz capital of Poland – in this exceptional setting, the RetroVibe Jazz Band performed in the latest edition of the Odra Jazz Festival, this time on the Polish side of the river. Report by Mikolaj Chomka
MoreInspired by Change
A desire for change, development, integration – these were the ideas that accompanied the participants of the twentieth, jubilee German Language Teachers' Congress in Torun. Attendees took part in workshops under the motto "Courage to Change." They emphasised that what brought them to the event was a desire to gain a new perspective on an ever-changing world, including the world of education. Report by Maja Owczarek
MoreWhere Streets Become a Stage
Olesnica – normally a quiet town in the eastern part of Lower Silesia – briefly transformed into a circus land full of atmospheric performances and surprises. The three-day OFCA festival filled the streets with artistic shows. Report by Milena Skora
MoreYoung Editorial Board 2026 – NOW RECRUITING
The Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation is opening recruitment for its internship programme for students seeking opportunities to publish their own texts and interested in participating in projects co-funded by us across Poland.
MoreIn One Breath About a Shared Problem
Did you know that poor air quality costs Poland as much as 60 billion euros per year, or 13% of GDP? Or that children are the most vulnerable to the negative effects of smog, yet until recently no one took pollution into account in medical diagnoses? These and other alarming data were presented during the open webinar "Air Pollution Knows No Borders," held on 25 July. The meeting showed that while national borders divide us administratively, smog, climate and health are things we share. Report by Julia Florkowska
