The Neighbourhood Trialogue is a unique school that brings together participants from Poland, Belarus and Ukraine.
The ‘Neighbourhood Trialogue’ autumn school is a space for meeting and meaningful conversation. Its goal is to strengthen ties between Poles, Ukrainians, and Belarusians through education, the exchange of experiences, and open dialogue about our shared (and often difficult) history, as well as the challenges we face today.
‘Neighbourhood Trialogue’ is a unique initiative that offers a deeper look at the relationships among our three countries. We create a safe space for conversations about memory, identity, and the present day—seeking mutual understanding despite our differences. It’s a chance to explore other perspectives and share your own.
Classes are conducted in three languages: Polish, Ukrainian, and Belarusian. This allows participants to truly listen to one another—in their own languages and with mutual understanding.
The school has an intimate format—we focus on active participation and engagement. Instead of formal lectures, we offer discussions, exercises, workshops, and collaborative problem-solving. What matters is not just what you know, but how you listen, speak, and think.
We combine theory with practice—from expert lectures and case studies to interactive simulations and group work. We want the knowledge you gain to be applicable in your work, your social engagement, and your everyday decisions.
Participation in the school is free of charge. The Mieroszewski Centre covers all costs: accommodation, meals, transportation, materials, and participation in activities. This makes the school accessible regardless of financial background—what counts is your commitment and motivation to act.
The school will take place in eastern Poland from 21-26 September 2025.
