Our European Values, our Future. A German-Polish Dialogue on the Future of Europe“

More than thirty years after the German-Polish Neighbourliness Treaty, relations between Berlin and Warsaw are at the crossroads: while Germany accuses Poland of deficits in the rule of law, Poland criticises Germany's energy policy and what Poland sees as its reluctance to support Ukraine. How can we strengthen German-Polish relations in the long term and prevent our countries from drifting further apart? What contribution can German-Polish relations make to the Europe of tomorrow?

Event will take place on Tuesday, 29 November 2022, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (CET) and will be conducted in English.

Discussions in moderated breakout sessions will follow exciting presentations by, among others:

Klara Geywitz, Federal Minister for Housing, Urban Development and Construction of the Federal Republic of Germany

Prof. Dr. Danuta Hübner, Member of the European Parliament

Dietmar Nietan, Member of the German Bundestag and Coordinator of German-
Polish Intersocietal and Cross-Border Cooperation

Urszula Zielińska, Member of the Polish Sejm and Chairwoman of Partia Zieloni

Paul Ziemiak, Member of the German Bundestag and Chairman of the German-Polish Parliamentary Group
