From 4 to 9 May a training course took place which was a part of the project "Our common world - global education of children", implemented by the Krzyżowa Foundation. Ten students of pedagogy from the University of Warsaw took part in the training.
It was already the third training meeting of the students, but the first one which was realized in an online form. Trainers Anna Kudarewska and Anna Huminiak, through two channels, provided the participants with knowledge on the methods of implementing global education activities.
The new skills will inspire the students to develop their own methods of working with children, which will be presented during the next training meeting.

Since February this year, the Krzyżowa Foundation has been implementing the pilot project "School of Dialogue", which consists in translating, adapting and testing educational materials of the Dutch program of the Peace School (Vreedzame School).
This program was created by the Dutch institution CED Groep and was first implemented 15 years ago in Utrecht. Today, more than 1,000 primary schools in the Netherlands are "peaceful" and the number is growing every year. This model works especially in schools at risk of peer violence, in conflicted communities, hence we assume that after adapting to Polish educational and cultural conditions, it will also work in Poland.
What can we learn from the central ideas of the Kreisau Circle regarding a positive, democratic culture of debate on the Internet?
In Kreisau the preparations for our online training „#CreatingSpace: A digital future with ethics in mind“ are in full swing! The heritage of the Kreisauer Kreis forms the historical frame around the project and the participants should have the possibility to visit the house on the hill virtually!
The project is funded by the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation and the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation in Poland.
Actually, our Education Specialist Charlotte Lohmann would have been in Klaipedia in Lithuania last week and would have taken part in the 4th project meeting of the Erasmus+ project "Understanding Diversity Together". Well, Corona still makes travelling difficult and we can't meet in person! Instead of an analogous meeting lasting few days, the meeting took place online! We hope you are still interested in pictures from online meetings :)
In virtual space, representatives from Bulgaria, Slovenia, Lithuania, Romania, Austria, Poland, Greece and Germany discussed together module ideas on diversity-conscious topics. The aim of the project is to develop versatile teaching materials for an innovative diversity education package that can be accessed online and offline.
