Krzyżowa for Ukraine

Krzyżowa for Ukraine

June is slowly coming to an end and this means that along with it the school year is ending. A few of our young guests from Ukraine, since March, have been attending the Primary School in Grodziszcze and the Secondary School No. 1 in Świdnica. On Friday, June 24, 2022 along with their classmates, Ukrainian students for the first time took part in the end of the school year in Poland, thus receiving a promotion to the next grade.

In spite of the end of the school year, Polish language classes for our guests from Ukraine are still held on the Foundation's premises. Four times a week all of those who are interested attend two-hour lessons, which are co-financed by the Evangelical Theological School.


In this way, despite the war, young refugees have a chance to educate themselves, eliminate the feeling of temporariness and integrate with their peers and the local community.
We now wish you a restful vacation from school!

Last week, on 09.06.2022, our guests from Ukraine, participants of exchanges at the IYMC Krzyżowa, inhabitants of the village and visitors could take part in a preview concert of the Polish-Ukrainian orchestra "Music for Future" . Young and very talented musicians from Poland and Ukraine practiced in this way before the next important event, which took place the next day, a concert in the Church of Peace in Świdnica.
The conductor of the concert was Tomasz Zwolinski.


Repertoire:

  • Victor Herbert, Serenade for string orchestra, op. 12,
  • Leoš Janáček, Adagio from Suite for string orchestra,
  • Wojciech Kilar, Orawa.

The project was financed by a donation from the Hasso Plattner Foundation and funds from the Europe Culture Foundation.


We invite you to view a photo-report from this event.

 
Today is the 100th day, since Russia invaded Ukraine. Since the beginning of March, we have been hosting Ukrainian war refugees in Krzyżowa. We try to make sure that especially our youngest guests can spend their time doing what makes them happy and a trip to the world of dinosaurs will surely please both children and adults. Therefore, on 28.05.2022 children and their carers went on a trip to the JuraPark in Krasiejów. At the site, they could admire about 200 models, almost 70 species of dinosaurs and take advantage of many attractions such as Time Tunnel, Oceanarium, Amusement Park, Playground, Cinema of 5D Emotions. 

Spring is always a time when there is a lot going on at Krzyżowa. Especially now, after two years of limiting our stationary activities, many projects are finally taking place in our centre. We combine our statutory activities with new tasks, which we have been carrying out since families from Ukraine settled in Krzyżowa.

It has been over 2 months since our Foundation became a temporary home for refugee women and men. We have allocated 100 places in our centre for those who seek shelter while fleeing war. These places are still occupied, and we are committed to organising help for the families staying with us - starting with providing them with a place to stay and food, and ending with support with all the administrative formalities. We try to help our guests with their everyday challenges such as finding a job or looking after their children.
