This year's 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War is an opportunity not only to celebrate the victory over Nazi Germany and the beginning of peaceful coexistence between the European nations, but also to raise the question of what exactly happened in 1945 and why that year did not mean the end of the fighting and the beginning of the reconstruction of the country for the whole of Europe.
That is why the Krzyżowa Foundation, in cooperation with the Silesian Institute, has prepared the educational project "(No)Peace 1945. What brought about the end of the Second World War?", addressed to school pupils and teachers, the aim of which is to present as broad a perspective as possible on the events of 1945, pointing out the similarities and differences in the history of Poland and neighbouring countries - as well as, more broadly, between Western European and Central European memories of the end of the Second World War.

On 24-26 September, an advanced training "Global education - ecological, climatic, green" took place in Krzyżowa.
The weather was beautiful. Accompanied by the September sun, the participants managed to explore the nature around Krzyżowa and get to know it through their senses. The trainees got to know many methods of working with children and young people. They also had the opportunity to broaden their knowledge about climate change, ecological footprint, nature deficit syndrome and to discuss the climate crisis, adaptation to it and how to discuss these topics with young people. They have explored issues related to the food system, meat consumption and food wastage. They got to know pro-ecological solutions and struggles of the Krzyżowa Foundation and shared their experiences in the field of environmental education and its implementation.
