This year\u2019s 2nd National Congress and Local Government Forum, \u201cSafe Poland and Citizens. The New Civil Defence System\u201d, focused on crisis management issues in local government and preparations for the event of hostilities. The event organisers created a space for developing cooperation and discussion. The two-day event in Krak\u00f3w brought together representatives of rural municipalities, county authorities, mayors, city mayors and provincial marshals as heads of civil defence, as well as specialists from municipal enterprises and others representing various organisations and institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Protection of cultural heritage&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the aims of the congress was to convey to an opinion-forming audience the most interesting and significant experiences of experts dealing with the protection of cultural property and archival resources in Poland. Agata W\u0105sowska-Pawlik chaired a panel on the protection of heritage, state and local government resources. This thematic track discussed issues relating to the protection of cultural heritage and the activities of the Civil Defence in safeguarding it. The experiences of the war in Ukraine were also addressed, along with the safeguarding of archival resources in crisis situations and the necessary actions local authorities must take in this regard. The discussion also covered the digitisation of archival resources as a safeguard against crisis situations, the digital security of cultural institutions, and data backups for museums and archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The following took part in the discussion:&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Prof. Andrzej Betlej, Director of the Wawel Royal Castle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dr Pawe\u0142 Pietrzyk, Director-General of the State Archives<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prof. Jacek Purchla, former Chair of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Agata W\u0105sowska-Pawlik, Director of the International Cultural Centre in Krak\u00f3w (Panel Moderator)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honorary patronage of the event&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Honorary patronage of the event was provided by: Ma\u0142gorzata Kidawa-B\u0142o\u0144ska, Marshal of the Senate of the Republic of Poland; W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defence; Krzysztof Gawkowski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Digital Affairs; Marcin Kierwi\u0144ski, Minister of the Interior and Administration; Dariusz Klimczak, Minister of Infrastructure; Tomasz Siemoniak, Minister \u2013 Member of the Council of Ministers, Coordinator of Special Services; Mi\u0142osz Motyka, Minister of Energy; and Aleksander Miszalski, Mayor of Krak\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/kongresoc.pl\/program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Event programme<br><br><\/a>Photo: courtesy of the organisers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-content\" id=\"2nd Congress and Local Government Forum: \u201cA Safe Poland and its Citizens.
