    at Forum for Dialogue?

This year, we had the great honor of organizing Study Visits for our allies and friends from the US and Canada, with whom we delved into Polish/Jewish history, Jewish heritage, and activities undertaken to preserve Jewish memory in Poland. All the tours helped strengthen connections within the Forum for Dialogue Network and enabled conversations between people who, if not for these Study Visits, might never have met. This year, two Study Visits were organized with support from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the grant competition “Public Diplomacy 2024”: in July, we hosted 9 Canadian educators, and in September, we met with our 11 American friends and allies.

“People aren’t different. People are the same. Especially if you learn how to talk to each other and listen to each other,” said Nancy Civin, a participant in the September Study Visit, as she reflected on the experience of discussions within the Forum for Dialogue Network. We would like to express our gratitude to all participants of this year’s visits. We appreciate their openness and willingness to engage in meaningful conversations and to create true dialogue. Being part of their meetings and building this unique international community of people who share common values has been an honor to us!
