We are happy to report that the first round of workshops in all the 21 schools of the 2017 School of Dialogue spring semester has been completed. Though we’ve been running the School of Dialogue program since 2008, we keep on being positively surprised. This time it was the Junior High School in Starachowice, where the school authorities surprised the students and Forum’s educators with a special visit of local experts on Jewish history and tradition: Jerzy Miśkiewicz, Deputy Mayor of Starachowice, Agnieszka Malinowska, a doctoral student researching local Jewish history, and Dawid Szychowski, Starachowice-born rabbi from Łódź. The meeting was an opportunity for students to ask questions, and consult with the Deputy Mayor.
