There is a lot going on in the 'Dialogue of Generations' project. We have already held workshops on senior health, concerts as part of the Krzyżowa-Music Festival, and many ethnographic and cultural heritage workshops in Lower Silesia. Currently, the seniors are taking part in workshops on personal development, watercolour painting and dance and movement. And around the corner there are already upcoming educational trips, theatre and digital workshops.

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".
