On 06-13.06.2022 "Call it freedom... The freedom from and the freedom to... in European and Arab societies" international youth exchange took place in Krzyżowa.
Young people from partner organizations:
Gustav Stresemann Institute, Bad Bevensen - Germany,
St. Mena Forum for Peace & Development - Egypt,
Debate Foundation - Jordan,
The Club Culturel Ali Belhouane - Tunisia
met in Krzyżowa to reflect and learn from each other about democracy and the concept of freedom in different societies fractured by polarization, instability and other challenges specific to the participating countries.
During the exchange, participants also had the opportunity to see how to bring about democratic change, deal with diversity, fill the vision of freedom with life, and foster cohesion in society.
During the exchange they got to know the history of Krzyżowa and Polish-German reconciliation, they visited Wrocław and "Dialogue Passage" (on FB you can tag them https://www.facebook.com/przejsciedialogu) where they discussed the current situation of refugees in Poland.
The participants presented their countries in terms of freedom and democracy, shared their personal stories of being activists, took part in the concert of the Polish-Ukrainian Youth Orchestra "Music for Future" and prepared short drama scenes in international groups, created a video together and even a role-playing game about democracy.
The project was co-financed by the Freya von Moltke Stiftung.
