On 14-18 October 2019 children and youth from Montessori schools in Wrocław and Bad Toelz met in Krzyżowa in order to get to know each other, develop their competences and discuss topics connected to global and ecological education.
The participants aged between 9 and 16 took up challenges during outdoor education workshops, gave new life to trash creating recycled instruments and learnt how global economy works during “Banana game” simulation. The important part of the programme was also discovering the history of Krzyżowa and the culmination of the project was the hike and the campfire at the top of Wielka Sowa mountain.
