Understanding Poland: European Neighborhood in Open Dialogue
Where history, culture, and faith come together, space for understanding and encounter is created. The lecture series “Understanding Poland” of the Ecumenical Seminar invites you to a religious and cultural experience in the community hall of St. Jacobi Göttingen. Visitors can expect an atmosphere of reflection, concentrated listening, and respectful exchange.
History as a Bridge Between People
The event series is dedicated to Poland, its history, its cultural traditions, and German-Polish relations. It connects historical context with social questions and ecumenical educational work. The dialogue opens new perspectives on memory, identity, European neighborhood, and communal responsibility.
Ecumenical Educational Work at St. Jacobi
The Ecumenical Seminar organizes the series in cooperation with the Protestant-Lutheran congregation of St. Jacobi, Protestant Adult Education, and the Adult Education Center.

An Afternoon of Calm, Inspiration, and Community
