I am writing this post a few days after the departure of the Polish-German-French youth group from Krzyzowa, which, inspired by the participants of this project, we called the project "Jazda!".
This slogan is a rarity among our projects lately. The names we use most often describe the content or form of the project in a direct way. That's why "Jazda!" was met with slight bewilderment on the part of my colleagues, but also with joy, after they got to know where the name came from, why exactly "Jazda".
That is why I also want to share this joy on the educator's blog.
The group of this project met in Krzyżowa for the second time this year. The previous online meeting took place in January, then there were several shorter meetings also online, and in May this year, the group met for a week-long programme in Marseille at the Camp des Milles, run by a partner organisation from France. It was then, at the first live meeting, that the need arose to choose a word in one of the participants' languages with which to easily evoke the attention of the whole group. At the same time, my fellow coordinating team members and I were thinking of a cleverer-sounding name than the previous one "We remember together to shape the future".

The Berlin-based publishing house Metropol Verlag has supported the Krzyzowa Foundation with a
whole box of books hot off the press. The titles, which deal with aspects of the history of the 20th
century or the way we deal with it today, are a real enrichment of the Foundation's library. Many
thanks to Metropol Verlag!
Onboarding Memories
Third workshop – 18-25 August 2022
The third workshop of the Onboarding Memories project is already underway. After Germany and France, this one takes the participants to Treviso, a city near Venice. Originally, this part of the project was supposed to take place in Lithuania, but the partners from Fort IX were no longer able to organise such an encounter in the wake of the Russian attack on Ukraine in February of this year.
Now it Treviso in Italy, and through the Krzyzowa Foundation as project partner, pupils from Dzierżoniów are once again taking part.

From 06 - 16.08.2022, participants aged 15 - 22 came to Krzyżowa for a Polish-German-French summer youth exchange "Human, you have rights!" with an artistic touch and the theme of human rights.
The tripartite youth exchange aims to bring together peers from three countries (Poland, Germany, France) and at the same time to spend time together during the summer holidays. The exchange programme includes elements of non-formal and artistic education.
Our activities aim to foster social and linguistic competences among the participants, all in the spirit of cooperation and respect for human rights. The activities will be led by an international team of female educators with experience in humanistic and non-formal education.
During the exchange they will try to find answers to the following questions:
