Polish-German youth exchange Pulheim - Piaseczno, 26 - 30.09.2022

A Polish-German meeting of students took place at the International Youth Meeting House in Krzyzowa on September 26-30, 2022. Exchange participants from Pulheim and Piaseczno had the opportunity to get to know each other well during integration games, as well as to deepen their knowledge of Polish and German culture and history. The young people participated in intercultural and historical workshops, and developed their competence in German and Polish during language animations.

From 18.09.22 to 22.09.22, a Polish-German youth exchange took place on the grounds of our Foundation between the Fiłomata Secondary School in Gliwice and the Konrad-Adenauer Realschule in Hamm. 
Forty male and female pupils took part in the exchange. The exchange focused on topics related to ecology and the environment.
The young people were able to learn about various sustainability topics and exchange their insights with each other.

Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual understanding in Europe (PL), Milan Šimečka Foundation (SK) and Anne Frank Zentrum (DE) are getting together to invite teachers from Slovakia, Poland and Germany to the workshop on antidiscrimination education that will take part in Krzyżowa on 23-26.11.2022.

The workshop methods will be based on the Stories that Move - an online platform with a set of interactive tools for education against discrimination, in the form of multilingual hybrid learning materials (www.storiesthatmove.org). Nine project partners from seven European countries were involved in the development and creation of the Stories that Move platform (2015-18) and continue to work on disseminating the tool in formal and non-formal education.

On a conversation with history witness Helmuth Caspar von Moltke in Frankfurt am Main on 02.09.2022

While the bells of Frankfurt Cathedral were ringing outside, one could feel the end of an era in the lecture theatre of Haus am Dom. The peace order that had been worked on in Europe for so long seemed to have come to an end because of Russia's war with Ukraine, even if it still takes time for us to realise this. This was the gloomy analysis of Dr Robert Zurek who opened his talk with an eyewitness, Helmuth Caspar von Moltke - son of Freya and Helmuth James von Moltke, co-founders of the Kreisau Circle. Helmuth Caspar's father, was murdered by the Nazis in 1945 along with 7 other members for civil resistance.


80 years after the first two major meetings of the Krzyzowa Circle, questions were asked in Frankfurt am Main about the validity of the legacy. PhD Anna Quirin, director of the Freya von Moltke Foundation, spoke to Helmuth Caspar von Moltke about his childhood and his memories of life in Krzyżowa and the meetings of the Krzyżowa Circle in the House on the Hill.
