Moderators:
Krzysztof Niedźwiedź and Mateusz Gancewski PhD – Lublin history teachers; they have participated in the project “Memory of the West, memory of the East – in pursuit of shared European values” together with youth from Lublin schools and universities (Lublin, Poland)

A debate with renowned historians and history teachers from Lublin schools. Through talks with their teachers, students will share their own insight on values that shape today’s Europe. Two significant events that happened in Lublin and Munster – solid partners for over 30 years – will construct a narrative for this debate. The Peace of Westphalia and the Union of Lublin impacted profoundly on the shape of the subsequent socio-political order in Europe, in the spirit of harmonious living between peoples and religions; the search for compromise; and respect for diversity. Today’s European Community is largely based, among others, on values like these

The panel is carried out within a project “Memory of the West, Memory of the East – in search of common European values” financed by the European Commission and the Council of Europe.
