The 2019 Georgetown Leadership Seminar that took place from October 27 to November 1, 2019, gathered top young leaders from all over the world for a week of learning, expanding horizons, and networking. Since 2014, the Jan Karski Educational Foundation has been sponsoring the participation of aspiring diplomats, civil servants, and scholars at this prestigious program. We present the report and reflections from this incredible experience by this year’s JKEF scholarship recipients, Izabela Hrynek and Daniel Szczęsny.
