With a view of the Wawel Royal Castle: Central Asia: a barrier or a highway?
Central Asia is not only becoming an area increasingly popular with tourists but also a focus of political and economic interest. Is there a revival of the old trade routes through the area or are empires once again playing their big game here? Guest speakers in the program: Leszek Sykulski, Ph.D., Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa, and Łukasz Burkiewicz, Ph.D., Ignatianum University in Cracow.

With a view of the Wawel Royal Castle: the Turkish Sea?
Centuries ago, step by step Turkey expanded its control over the Mediterranean area, which seems to have been forgotten. However, taking advantage of the chaos that followed the Arab Spring, the Turks are increasingly present in the game of power there. Have dreams of a Turkish sea been revived? Guest speakers in the program: Łukasz Burkiewicz, Ph.D., Ignatianum University in Cracow, and Paweł K. Gąsiorczyk, Ph.D., a medievalist and researcher of the history of the Mediterranean area.

With a view of the Wawel Royal Castle: When does a war end?
Depending on the country and its approach to history, the anniversary of the end of the Second World War is celebrated on different days. More than one conflict has raised questions about when it ended. In the program, we ask when war actually ends and whether it is always an obvious event.

With a view of the Wawel Royal Castle: Crusading dilemmas
Suggestions that apologies for the Crusades should be made are continuously being voiced. However, why do they come from the Americans, for example? Historians explain what the Crusades were and which military expeditions of Christian armies were part of them.

History is happening: Globalisation – is it over?
Academics today are at a crossroads when reflecting on globalization. On the one hand, we are witnessing the development and spread of the Internet and the operations of transnational corporations. Never in history has it been possible to reach another continent so quickly. On the other hand, a growing number of political blocs of states are forming and isolationist tendencies and cultural disputes are resurfacing. Which way will the world go? History is happening…
History is happening: Central Asia – the geopolitical heart?
If you covered a map with your hand, would you be able to tell who borders who in Central Asia? Probably not, and yet it is not only the major neighbors who are focusing their attention on this region but also the Turks, the French, and the Germans. Is this region really the geopolitical heart of a great continent? History is happening!
Cross-section: 1313 was a strange year… Alternative Cross-section through history
We are not the center of the world – this is the truth that today the West has to face increasingly often. Perhaps the dominance of our civilization is not a historical necessity but the result of chance events. After all, it is enough to go back a few hundred years and we will see a globe in which Europe was only one of many centers, and not at all the most important, richest, or most influential. This was the Earth in the year 1313.
