“Conversations About!” is a series of meetings of the Olivia Centre with experts in many fields. In 2025 alone, we hosted Paweł Rakowski, with whom we talked about the war in the Middle East, its possible escalation and consequences for the world order. With Krzysztof Wojczal , we analyzed global geopolitical trends, the future of Russia and Ukraine, the role of the United States and the changing position of the European Union. In the meeting with Marek Magierowski , we discussed the issues of Polish security, transatlantic relations and our country’s position on international conflicts. WithBartosz Marczuk and Michał Kot , we reflected on the consequences of the ageing population, its impact on the economy, the labour market and the stability of the state.

We started 2026 with a conversation about spirituality and well-being with Prof. Aleksander Bańka – evangelizer and practitioner of Christian meditation and Dr. Nina Budziszewska – yogi and yoga researcher. On 8 June, in Olivia, we hosted Darius Rosiak, a journalist of the Radio Three, author of the “State of the World Report”, reporter and one of the most recognizable commentators on international affairs.
