On 7-10 November, the Youth Training Centre “Kuźnia” held a Life and Freedom Week in Warsaw. As part of the event, there were a number of discussions and lectures aimed at raising awareness of the pathology of the planet of economy, politics and threats to the Church.

The conversation was attended by prominent people from the planet of Polish education, specified as curator Barbara Nowak, teacher, author and proxy of the Minister of Education for the basics and textbooks Dr Artur Górecki and educator Prof. Aleksander Nalaskowski.
