Alumni Association has started a new project under the joint title “Talking about the future“. We want to include every interested person in the discussion about the future of Poland and Poles. But it is the members of the Association: scientists, teachers, specialists, social leaders, practitioners, administrators that discuss various spheres of modern life. Together, we reflect on the future of education, science, economy, business, the third sector, culture, international affairs, security, self-governance, 21st century society and more.
And all this is now available on Facebook, where we have opened a special and dedicated streaming channel: www.facebook.com/StowarzyszenieAlumni/
