The Berlin-based publishing house Metropol Verlag has supported the Krzyzowa Foundation with a
whole box of books hot off the press. The titles, which deal with aspects of the history of the 20th
century or the way we deal with it today, are a real enrichment of the Foundation's library. Many
thanks to Metropol Verlag!
Onboarding Memories
Third workshop – 18-25 August 2022
The third workshop of the Onboarding Memories project is already underway. After Germany and France, this one takes the participants to Treviso, a city near Venice. Originally, this part of the project was supposed to take place in Lithuania, but the partners from Fort IX were no longer able to organise such an encounter in the wake of the Russian attack on Ukraine in February of this year.
Now it Treviso in Italy, and through the Krzyzowa Foundation as project partner, pupils from Dzierżoniów are once again taking part.

From 06 - 16.08.2022, participants aged 15 - 22 came to Krzyżowa for a Polish-German-French summer youth exchange "Human, you have rights!" with an artistic touch and the theme of human rights.
The tripartite youth exchange aims to bring together peers from three countries (Poland, Germany, France) and at the same time to spend time together during the summer holidays. The exchange programme includes elements of non-formal and artistic education.
Our activities aim to foster social and linguistic competences among the participants, all in the spirit of cooperation and respect for human rights. The activities will be led by an international team of female educators with experience in humanistic and non-formal education.
During the exchange they will try to find answers to the following questions:

The 156th day of the war in Ukraine is passing. And in Krzyzowa life is going on for our guests from Ukraine. We try to offer help in various areas. Despite the vacations, the children want to learn Polish and, thanks to funds raised by the staff and employees of Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, they practice Polish grammar twice a week in two age groups, learn new vocabulary and play in Polish.
And in the afternoons, their parents also study Polish intensively and benefit from career counseling - this week they discover how to start their own business in Poland, how to prepare a good business plan and how to deal with formalities. This activity is taking place thanks to funding from the Polish-American Freedom Foundation under the Supporting Ukraine program implemented by the Education for Democracy Foundation.
Support for refugees and refugee women from Ukraine is a great challenge, which we manage to meet thanks to the commitment of our team and the financial support of our donors. The needs for organizing such assistance are enormous. Therefore, we continue to ask for your support, which will allow us to continue our activities and provide assistance and security to families from Ukraine.
