During the evening prayer on 30 December, at the Accor Arena (Bercy) in Paris, Brother Matthew announced that the next, 49th European Meeting of Young Adults, will take place in Łódź, a city located in the very heart of Poland.

Łódź is a city of women who, for nearly 200 years, drove its development through their hard work in the textile factories, and who, during the difficult years of communism, had the courage to fight independently for their rights.

It is a city shaped by four cultures and four traditions: Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox and Jewish. The inhabitants of Łódź live ecumenism in their daily lives, building their hospitality and openness on unity in diversity and on dialogue.
