From May 4 to 7, the annual meeting of the Jeswebcom group of the Jesuit Conference of European Provincials took place at the European Center for Culture and Communication in Falenica (Warsaw, Poland). This group is responsible for coordinating communication across the provinces within the Conference.

The meeting brought together representatives from 11 of the 16 Provinces that comprise the conference, as well as representatives from the JCEP in Brussels and the communications office of the General Curia in Rome. We particularly felt the absence of our colleague from the Province of the Near East, who was unable to attend due to travel restrictions from Lebanon. We kept the situation in that region especially close in our prayers.

The meeting began with a round of sharing about the current state of each communications office, allowing us to follow their activities and learn about the challenges each one faces. We dedicated several extensive sessions, led by Wojciech Żmudziński SJ and Olena Tkachuk to learning about the communication work being carried out in the Polish provinces, where very valuable digital communication initiatives have been developed in recent years (website, YouTube channel, Deon, Pray as you go...). There was also a very interesting moment during a workshop with Ewa Novak, a young Polish Christian influencer, who shared with us how she approaches evangelization on social media.

We also had the opportunity to present and discuss a joint training proposal for the Jeswebcom group, prepared by Laura Galimberti, as well as to organize the group's activities and the structure of its steering committee for the coming year.

A particularly impactful and stimulating moment was our time with several Jesuits from the Russian region (part of the North Poland Province); they shared the current situation of the region and how they perceive their presence in the media.

These moments of intense work were balanced by a wonderful historical visit to Warsaw and the Jesuit Church in the city center, which finished with a great Polish dinner of pierogi.

It has been an extraordinary opportunity to continue our ongoing training in current communication trends, learn about the work being done in each province, and better organize our joint efforts. The shared feeling was that of a very enriching time of exchange, learning, and common projects for the future. We experienced again how a coordinated approach to the mission from the perspective of the Conference level enriches the work of each province, gives them a deeper strategic insight and help the Society of Jesus in Europe to reach a higher level of apostolic agency.

Special thanks must be given to Wojciech Żmudziński and the entire team at the European Center for Communication and Culture in Falenica for the splendid organization of the meeting program and for such a warm, attentive, and detail-oriented welcome.
