The Krzyżowa Foundation during the 2014-2020 programming period of the European Union actively participated in applying for funds for the implementation of educational projects addressed to students and teachers of primary and secondary schools in the Dolnośląskie Voivodeship.
In total, 19 projects were undertaken under the ROP WD 2014-2020 measures 10.4 and 10.2, including 15 projects in which the Foundation acted as a leader and 4 projects in which the Foundation acted as a partner. Some of these projects are in progress and will be continued for the next three years, until 2023. The total value of all projects is nearly PLN 35 million. The support area covers the following poviats: świdnicki, wałbrzyski, dzierżoniowski, kłodzki, ząbkowicki, kamiennogórski, oleśnicki.
The projects implemented activities including on the basis of tools developed by the Foundation in other partner projects, such as Career Kaleidoscope - a tool for career counseling and Digital Pathways - a digital tool. Using the natural potential and the Foundation's experience, ecological and scientific classes were also conducted for students. During the implementation of the projects, many original worksheets were created to conduct interdisciplinary stationary and field classes, which are and will be used in other own projects of the Foundation.
Several projects received additional support in the form of an international component and a grant of approximately PLN 100,000, thanks to which the teaching staff can benefit from the experience of foreign partners operating in the field of education, supporting digital education, mathematics and science, and creativity.
