On 24 May, we hosted the Bishop of the Lutheran Church of Northern Germany, Kristina Kühnbaum-Schmidt and the President of the Synod, Ulrika Hillmann, who visited our Foundation accompanied by Bishop Waldemar Pytel. We are very grateful for this meeting, during which we had the opportunity to present our activities.

An important topic of discussion was also Polish-German relations, as well as the challenges of helping the refugees from Ukraine.

On 20-21 May, meetings of Supervisory Board and Council of "Krzyżowa" Foundation took place in Krzyżowa. Representatives of the Honorary Council also took part in the meeting. The last period posed many challenges and new tasks for the Foundation and we are very pleased that we had the opportunity to discuss them in such a large audience.

An important item on the agenda was the summary of the past year in the Foundation, but also further work on the strategy for the development of our organisation. This part of the meeting order was also attended by employees of the Foundation, as well as the directors of our partner organisations: Nina Lüders from the Kreisau-Initiative Association from Berlin and Anna Quirin from the Freya von Moltke Foundation.

On 13-16 May, in Krzyżowa, the second Learning Teaching Training Activity took place - a seminar for educators and multipliers within the framework of the strategic partnership on education for sustainable development and post-growth.

During the seminar, participants tried to answer the question why cultural sensitivity in education for social-ecological transformation matters. The first outline of a manual to be produced by the project was also presented. There were also sessions led by the project team, and seminar participants were invited to co-create an open space session.

22 students from Poland and Germany met in Krzyżowa on 16-21 May and took part in a school exchange. As every year, youth from Kherson were also supposed to participate in the event. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine made this meeting impossible, which is extremely sad for all of us. The absence of the Ukrainian school, a long-standing partner of the tri-national exchange, was keenly felt by all participants.

The main theme of the school exchange was 'Europe and me'. That is why the youth first learnt about the history of Krzyżowa and nearby Wrocław and then reflected on their associations connected with the word 'Europe'. Reflecting on their family histories and discussing European values was an important part of this process.
