This year's workshop for the formators of the North Slavic Conference will take place in the WSD building of brothers in Kraków-Bronowice (ul. Ojcowska 1, 31-344 Kraków; Tel. +48 12 6378555).
The proposed topic – "dangerous relationships" – formulated rather provocatively, concerns healthy and unhealthy relationships between a religious (priest) and women and is a continuation of last year's theme of "addiction".

This year's (23-28.04.2012) workshop for the formators of the North Slavic Conference took place in the monastery of brothers in Kraków-Bronowice (ul. Ojcowska 1, 31-344 Kraków; Tel. +48 12 6378555; e-mail ariel_k@wp.pl and/or wsdofm@op.pl).

From 2 to 6 May, in the monastery of the brothers in Mokotów in Warsaw (Province of Our Lady of the Angels; ul. Modzelewski 98 a; Tel. +48 22 8484235), workshops were held for the formators of the North Slavic Conference.
The responsibility for their organization was about. Witosław Sztyk OFM.
The proposed theme: The Word of God in the formation of the Lesser Brothers was an attempt to take up and deepen the thoughts proposed by Benedict XVI in his Apostolic Exhortation fri. Verbum Domini.

We wanted to strengthen the ability to live with the Word of God in the personal and communous realization of the Franciscan vocation.

In achieving this goal, we were helped by invited guests, secretaries of formation and study of our Order, o. Vidal Rodríguez López OFM and o Sergei Bałdyga OFM.

In 2010, the conference formats were held on 12-16 April in the monastery of brothers in Katowice-Panewniki (ul. Panewnicka 76; 40-760; +48 32 2526 870).

It was proposed to form a Franciscan prayer, which was suggested by the formators themselves at the previous workshops. The logic of the wars was the following: we recalled the general theology of prayer and contemplation (o. Marian Zawada OCD); then we deepened our knowledge of the characteristics of the prayer of St. Francis himself (o. Syrach Janicki OFM); then we have traced the history of Franciscan prayer over the centuries (o. Syrach Janicki (OFM); finally look at our Franciscan prayer today (o. Syrach Janicki OFM).
The focal point of the workshop was a discussion on how to form franciscan prayer at the various stages of formation? (o. Witosław Sztyk).
At the end of the workshop, a panel on the Franciscan hermitage was placed ( o. Wit Bołd OFM, fr. Syrach Janicki OFM).
