XXXII Economic Forum in Karpacz
The Mieroszewski Centre will attended the XXXII Economic Forum in Karpacz. This year's event was held under the theme 'New values of the Old Continent - Europe at the threshold of change' on 5-7 September 2023.
Each year, the Economic Forum hosts more than 5,000 people and brings together political, economic and social leaders from 60 countries from around the world for several hundred debates.
Forum is a unique space for the exchange of opinions of key figures in European politics and the economy, which is why important declarations are made every year at the Economic Forum and why its discussions are followed by media from all over the world.
During the 2023 edition of the Economic Forum, the Mieroszewski Centre organised a debate "What History to Support Regional Cooperation?".
The discussion among researchers from Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine, who, by virtue of their public functions, influence the politics of history pursued in the Central and Eastern European countries, focused on the following questions.
- How can history serve as a tool for strengthening ties in the region?
- What measures should be taken to minimise the negative impact of different historical memories on the current cooperation of Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Czechia?
- How can Poland, Lithuania, Czechia and Ukraine shape the perception of Central and Eastern European history beyond the region?
