From 9th to 16th November 2018 in Krzyżowa took place workshops within the framework of the project "Polish families in the theatre of life". The week-long classes were attended by Polish youth from the J. Słowacki Junior High School in Bezdany (Lithuania) and students of the School Complex No. 3 in Kłobuck (Śląskie Voivodeship).
"Polish families in the theatre of life" is another project co-financed by the Ministry of National Education in Poland, in which participants have the opportunity to discover history in an interesting, engaging way, while at the same time building a sense of identity through conscious dealing with the history of their community.
The participants of the meeting in Krzyżowa, even before their arrival, in conversations with their loved ones, got to know the fate of their own family and often discovered its intricate history. During the workshops, with the help of drama techniques, the young people watched the collected stories, explored them and discovered the meanings contained in them. In this way, initially abstract history gained a personal dimension, and communing with it became an exceptional experience.
The effects of young people's work could be seen during the performance, which the participants presented in Krzyżowa on 15.11.2018.
