Evan Meyer welcomes Wroclaw, Poland Councilmember Bartlomiej Ciazynski on this episode of Meyerside Chats. Part 1 of 2.
Join us in our journey as we explore how Wroclaw, Poland is handling many of our global issues, and the similarities and differences in governance to the U.S. Through perspective and sharing of best practices, there is much we can learn from one another. The creative approaches in which many governments take to solve issues is vast. Often, better solutions are right in front of us if we just inquire.
Meyerside Chats seeks to eliminate the "us and them" narrative and toxic polarization by striving to create virtuous community leadership, and authentic conversation. The intent is to showcase the humanity in those that take on the often thankless jobs of public service through civil discourse, and honoring differing points of view.
