On February 11-16 in the International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyżowa two winter Polish-Czech-German projects took place: Winter Adventure Junior I addressed to children aged 8-10 years and "Peace begins with me" - for young people aged 14-17.

The younger group spent time on artistic workshops (e.g. creating mandalas), games and trips (e.g. to the gold mine in Złoty Stok and the ice rink in Świdnica), while the youth took part in circus, dance, artistic activities - sculpture, painting.

All participants tried to get to know their new colleagues and customs of the countries of origin. Games and sports activities helped to establish contacts and learn foreign languages.

As every year, the winter meeting in Krzyżowa was full of positive emotions, joy and good fun.
