In the last week of the winter holidays, the Krzyżowa Foundation organized day camps called "Creative Week in Krzyżowa". From 11 to 15 January 2021, children from grades 1-4 of primary schools participated in classes prepared by an international team of pedagogues specializing in humanities and non-formal education.
The day camp program was filled with artistic activities, during which children could develop their creativity. They learned, among other things, how to sculpt in clay, weave, paint on glass and fabric, and how to creatively use various types of materials. During a very intense week, among others, hand-melted candles, talismans, painted eco bags, clay figurines were created. Day camp participants also learned how to creatively use new technologies and create stop-motion animations. During the "Stop Montion" workshops, children created their own animated films using art materials, special figurines and tablets.
There were also team-building activities every day. Taking advantage of the charms of winter, the children also spent time outdoors, getting to know the picturesque surroundings of the foundation. All classes were held in small groups, in compliance with the rules of the sanitary regime in force during the COVID-19 pandemic.
