I’m excited to share that the European Solidarity Centre (ECS) in Gdańsk has just opened a call for applications for their Solidarity Academy 2024-2025. It is a unique a meeting space for young leaders coming from different backgrounds to share experiences and to involve in new initiatives.
The Academy will begin in October 2024 and will last until June 2025. It involves meetings in Gdańsk, Warsaw and Cracow, as well as online workshops in-between the physical sessions. The programme will feature international events at ECS, such as the All About Freedom Film Festival and Europe with a View to the Future international forum. Participants will also get the opportunity to publish their texts in the print edition of the New Eastern Europe bimonthly.
ECS welcomes journalists, academics and social activists. Deadline for applications is 25 September 2024. You can find more information on ECS’ website: https://ecs.gda.pl/en/solidarity-academy-2024-2025/.
I took part in the 2010 edition of the Academy and I can highly recommend it. The European Solidarity Centre is a special place on the maps of Poland and Europe. Located in the historic Gdańsk Shipyard, it merges the past and present, creating space for discussions about our shared future as Europeans.
Please share this info with your contacts and let’s make the change together!

In “Limes” on Belarus and Poland
My article entitled ‘Polonia fa il tifo per la piazza’ in the latest issue of Italian geopolitical journal Limes is out. It provides a longue durée perspective of the area that constitute today’s Belarus in the context of recent developments there. It also briefly explains how it all relates to Poland.
