The 28 pupils from the Peppermont Free Secondary School in Berlin and the Aviation Technical School in Wrocław were the first to discover our new exhibition "1939-1945. Years that changed the world" in a workshop.
Based on this scenario, the young people explored the gradual exclusion of the Jewish population in Germany during the Third Reich, learned about Gordon Allport's pyramid of hatred and then thought about examples of discrimination and hatred that they know from their own lives. How can we defend ourselves against it and offer resistance? The young people developed their own videos and comics on this and ended up creating a joint "welcome" bench.
During the week in Krzyżowa (22.-26.4.2024), the young people also got to know each other better through integration and language animation games, playing soccer together, campfire, disco and a movie and games night. On the excursion day, they explored the city of Wrocław in small international groups, with the German participants learning about the city's history from their Polish counterparts. Many thanks for the great exchange!
The exchange was funded by the German-Polish Youth Office (GPYO) and led by Sarah Schumayer.
