April 26-28, during the Ludwika and Henryk Wujec Seminar for Forum for Dialogue Network members Izabela Meyza helped over 20 participants dove deep into the theories and practices of dialogue and non-violent communication, learning skills invaluable in their work to preserve and commemorate Jewish history of their towns and villages. Aided by Marta Eichelberger-Jankowska they have also practiced chewruta, a dialogic approach to text and thinking steeped in Jewish history and Judaism.

The seminar is Forum’s way of honoring the memory of Henryk and Ludwika Wujec, whose approach to others has been an inspiration for us for decades. It is vital that in our efforts to support our community of 200+ individuals working in Poland to preserve Jewish heritage we can connect the important figures and practices from the past with current efforts to build a better future.
