A marketplace for ideas and partnerships
Jarmark is a Polish word for “fair”. The Thirteenth Assembly Jarmark will be a space for encounter, creativity, transformative action, and visioning. LWF member churches, related organizations and ecumenical partners will bring life to this space by showcasing their work and opening opportunities for joint exploration on diverse topics.
