Today's the day - Forty folks from nine countries all focused on community organising! Yesterday we prepared - that's me and Kajo, studying our curriculum and Chuck helping me collect training tools. Then more walking around - this is a VERY catholic country! I saw churches full at three o'clock mass, and bells all day. Collected some great spire pictures.
AND I found the Scouts Memorial. Rep. Marcy Kaptur has told us the story of the heroic stand of the scouts in Poland, actively resisting both the Nazis and the Russians, and of the continuing role this organisation plays in civil society in Poland. Yesterday we found the plaque that commemorates the founding of Polish scouting here in Szczecin! Pictures later.
Ok, to breakfast and then to work! (More also later on the joyous reunions with various folks we met last year, and their stories of success!)
