Jonge mensen komen samen om te spelen, om te praten, om beweging te maken,… Chiro… en wij denken ook aan urenlang vergaderen, discussiëren, plannen, wikken en wegen, begrotin- gen opstellen, keuzes maken voor de toekomst,… Ook dat gebeurt voortdurend in Vlaanderen. Jongeren die samenkomen om ervoor te zorgen dat Chiro in beweging blijft… Een beleidsnota schrijven, bleek geen eenvoudige klus. Om die opdracht haalbaar te maken en op tijd rond te krijgen, werd er een schrijfgroep opgericht. Urenlang discussieerden we over de manier waarop we onze doelstellingen en acties zouden verwoorden, over de juiste vertaling van de missie en de visie van Chiro en over de andere hoofdstukken. Iedereen werd ingeschakeld om elk deel te toetsen, te verfijnen en op punt te stellen. Via allerhande kanalen werd deze beleidsnota een document van de hele beweging. Commissies, redacties en verbonden werden geraadpleegd en op de hoogte gehouden tijdens het schrijfproces. We wilden immers rekening houden met de manier van werken van honder- 2 den vrijwilligers. We wilden correct verwoorden waar zij en wij dagelijks mee bezig zijn. Het was niet evident, maar we hebben er veel van geleerd. We willen de komende jaren deze beleidsnota werkelijk gebruiken omdat we ervan overtuigd zijn dat lange termijnplanning in onze beweging noodzakelijk is.

  • The Attractiveness of Court Culture During the Jagiellonian Era
    Odrodzenie i Reformacja w Polsce PL ISSN 0029‑8514 Special Issue Małgorzata Wilska (Warsaw) The Attractiveness of Court Culture during the Jagiellonian Era Court culture is generated predominantly by the social milieu surround‑ ing the king and monarchic authority. The court guaranteed a suitable setting for all the activity of the monarch and royal accounts did not separate expenses for the private needs of the ruler and his family and those of a state character. The transmission of cultural values occurred everywhere where the king and court stayed: on the meadow where land court sessions were held, at the castle during a feast, at an assembly, in the course of a hunt, and along the entire route of the king’s entourage. It should be kept in mind that the governance of Władysław II Jagiełło and his successors involved incessant motion, a constant traversing across Polish lands from Cracow to Lithuania. The image of the king viewed directly was connected in social mentality with a model of the monarch moulded by tradition and court ideology. This image was composed of two overlapping visions: the sacrum and the profanum. The former demanded respect for the God’s anointed, and the latter rendered him closer to the perspective of the subjects and exposed him to criticism.1 Chronicles enable us seeing changes occurring in the ideology of power during the reign of the Piast dynasty. Casimir III the Great was already far from the image of the warrior‑king and defender of the homeland depicted by Gallus writing about Bolesław I the Brave.

  • The Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Beginning of the 15Th
    THE GRAND DUCHY OF LITHUANIA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE 15 TH CENTURY A er the death of Grand Duke Algirdas (1345–1377), his son Jogaila became the leader. In order to divert all a ention to the East, Jogaila signed a secret agreement with the Order, known as the Treaty of Dovydiškės, according to which the Order was free to a ack the lands belonging to Algirdas’ brother Kęstutis and his son, Vytautas. e Order informed Kęstutis of this agreement and in so doing initiated a civil war in Lithuania. At + rst, Kęstutis removed Jogaila from his seat of power, however, in 1382, Jogaila conquered Vilnius and imprisoned Kęstutis and Vytautas. Kęstutis was held prisoner in Krėva Castle, and was strangled by Jogaila’s servants. Vytautas managed to escape and sought protection with the Crusaders. Vytautas and Jogaila made peace in 1384, yet Jogaila once again failed to keep his promise to return Vytautas his fatherland, the Duchy of Trakai. In 1390–1392 Vytautas again appealed to the Order for assistance to go to war against Jogaila. Jogaila, who by now spent most of his time in Poland, could see that his appointed vicegerent, his brother Skirgaila, was unable to manage the internal opposition and so, once again made peace with Vytautas in 1392. at same year Vytautas became the actual leader of Lithuania, and o6 cially assumed this position in 1401. Wishing to reinforce Lithuania’s supremacy in the East – in the Ruzen and Tatars’ lands, Vytautas and the Order agreed on the Treaty of Salynas. According to this agreement, Vytautas relinquished Samogitia as far as Nevėžis and Kaunas as far as Rumšiškės to the Order.

The representatives of the Europe Regional Network of World Green Building Council claim that the building emissions in Europe create up to 36% of the total carbon dioxide production. Therefore, the application of ecological building materials can be one of the possible ways to reach equilibrium between the social-economic growth and green development. The main objective of this paper was to find out the approach of people in urban and rural settlements in Slovakia towards the question of green development in terms of selection of building material for the construction of a family house and their economic-social situation. The issue was mapped in Slovakia using the empirical survey in the form of a questionnaire.
