Thanks to an invitation from the Department of Education of the Wrocław City Hall, a meeting with the directors of Wrocław primary schools took place on 9 December at the headquarters of the Wrocław Teacher Training Centre. The aim of the meeting was to present the possibility of implementing the "Schools of Dialogue" programme in schools by the "Krzyżowa" Foundation.

"Schools of Dialogue" is a programme of systematic education for democracy at schools, based on the programme "Schools of Peace" (Vredzamee School) implemented in the Netherlands. It is a structural contribution to the school environment and seeks to integrate knowledge, tools and skills for cooperation, responsibility, conflict resolution and democratic coexistence, respect and appreciation of diversity. It is introduced over 2 years and includes a series of lessons for all classes, training for teachers and parents.

The official announcement of the results of the International Essay Competition in the framework of the project „Moja Europa Wolności / Mein Europa der Freiheit/ Moje Evropa Svobody” is behind us.


On 10 December, during an online ceremony, the international jury announced the names of the winners and runners-up, whose works proved to be the best among the more than 100 submitted competition entries:

 

Originally planned for Prague, the transnational meeting in our strategic partnership PartESDD (Partnership for Education for Sustainable Development and Degrowth Education) finally had to be held online. Together with the representatives of our partner organisations from the Czech Republic and Germany, we devoted two days to project management: we clarified formalities and financial matters, adjusted timetables, looked ahead to upcoming project activities and reflected on our cooperation. And a few sweet winter treats could also be "shared" on the screen. 

During the meeting, the Krzyżowa Foundation was represented by: Agnieszka Duduś from the International Youth Meeting Centre and Anna Dankowska - a freelancer cooperating with the Krzyżowa Foundation in the field of ecology.

Snow has fallen. But even with a layer of fluffy snow, it can be seen with the naked eye that in recent weeks work on the construction of our garden behind the moat has advanced. Two structures, which have been created and have already reached their final height, are called "two towers" - these are two stone, self-fertilizing keyhole-type beds, the heart of which will be built-in small composters. One can only guess how well-nourished the vegetables grown in them will be and how it will soon affect their taste.

Before the first snows and frosts, a greenhouse was also assembled, which had been patiently waiting for this moment for several months in one of the foundation's storage rooms. We conducted a test which showed that it is already warmer inside the greenhouse than outside. This bodes well for the production of the first seedlings in early spring.
