Podcast „On both Sides“

The German-Polish project “Beiderseits! / Po obu stronach!” brings people from Germany and Poland into dialogue. The aim of the project is to make personal stories, experiences and perspectives from the German-Polish border region visible and to promote cross-border exchange.

As part of the project, interviews were conducted with people on both sides of the Oder River, editorially processed and published as a bilingual podcast. The content is available in both German and Polish and provides easy access to regional topics, history, culture and everyday life.

Project Outputs

Project Results
