From December 2 to December 6, an extraordinary youth exchange between Zielona Góra and the German town of Peitz took place. The meeting, held at the International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyżowa (MDSM Krzyżowa), brought together 40 participants. This event, funded by the Polish-German Youth Office (PNWM), aimed to foster intercultural connections and encourage creative collaboration in a unique holiday atmosphere.
During the exchange, participants took part in various workshops designed to promote creativity and integration. One of the highlights of the program was creating holiday wreaths from wicker, which were then decorated according to individual ideas. The process required teamwork, imagination, and manual skills. The results impressed both participants and organizers alike.
In addition to creative activities, the youth prepared posters and presentations reflecting their shared discussions on daily customs and hobbies in Poland and Germany. This allowed participants to better understand cultural diversity while discovering numerous common interests.
Krzyżowa, with its historical significance as a place of dialogue and collaboration, provided the perfect backdrop for the exchange. It not only nurtured creative skills but also facilitated the formation of international friendships and mutual understanding. Participants emphasized that working together, regardless of language or cultural differences, is an excellent way to build close relationships and mutual respect.
This event undoubtedly left participants with beautiful memories and valuable experiences that will bear fruit in the future. Thanks to the support of PNWM and the dedication of organizers and mentors, the youth had the opportunity to take part in an exceptional initiative, showcasing the joy and satisfaction that international cooperation can bring.
