We are approaching the end of the GlobART 2030 project, which consisted of 11 activities integrating the subject of the Sustainable Development Goals into the international exchange of young people from Poland, Germany and Ukraine.

During 5-6-day meetings at the Krzyżowa Foundation, young people devoted 1 full day to active workshops on globalization, global interdependence, North-South relations, migration, food security, gender equality, and human rights. The workshops were conducted by the IYMC educators using the methods of non-formal education and critical education, followed by joint work on the artistic expression of the topic. Participants could choose the artistic sphere and the means of expression to deal with the topic they wanted to express. The most frequently chosen options among those offered at the Krzyżowa Foundation were: painting, upcycling, as well as multimedia techniques, such as time-lapse films and dance performance.

This Training of Multipliers is for 24 participants from Germany and Poland. The aim is to equip a new generation of multipliers with learning approaches of the
JustNow – Toolbox for Teaching Human Rights and develop together new educational materials (activity plans, exercises and timelines) which will be part of the JustNow - Toolbox for Teaching Human Rights.

WHAT IS JUSTNOW – A TOOLBOX FOR TEACHING HUMAN RIGHTS?
The “JustNow – A Toolbox for Teaching Human Rights” was created in response to internal evaluations and requests put forward by organizations and schools that previously participated in the Model International Criminal Court (MICC) project www.modelicc.org

The first meeting of schools implementing the pilot School of Dialogue project took place on 25 August in Krzyżowa. The pandemic forced us to stop testing materials translated from Dutch and only now it was possible to gather teachers who implemented lessons from the first 3 blocks of the program in their schools and kindergartens before the announcement of the school closure.

Schools and kindergartens exchanged their expectations before joining the program and the degree of fulfillment of these expectations. The evaluation showed that the material is very well received by children, that it allows behavioral changes and facilitates group conflict resolution. The teachers praised the program for its systematization, simplicity of communication, flexibility and effectiveness.

Our summer Outdoor Cinema project has come to an end. The last, fourth screening took place on Friday, 4 September in Komorów. It was in many respects a very successful ending, beautiful weather and an interesting program encouraged many people to spend Friday evening in our outdoor cinema room on the sports field in Komorów. There were especially many children who eagerly persevered until the end of the projection dedicated to them. It lasted for an hour and a half. Then the screening for older audiences began, in which you could see "The Dessmaker" directed by Jocelyn Moorhouse - an Australian comedy-drama from 2015, in which Kate Winslet played the title role.
