3/2020
Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome in the summer edition of the Krzyżowa Foundation Newsletter.
A very difficult period is behind us all and although now summer awakens new energy and hope in us, we realize that we are facing a slightly different than usual holiday time.
How did the period of freezing many areas of activity survive the Foundation? How do we act now? This information can be found in the information of the Board of Management, which we publish in the KRZYŻOWA FORUM, as well as in other Newsletter articles. We encourage you to familiarize yourself with our initiatives, which were created in the period when all meetings, projects carried out on site were cancelled and our activities moved into the virtual zone. And a lot has happened - both in the area of civic, global, media and environmental education.
In the section of the KRZYŻOWA FORUM we also recommend a text by Dr Tomasz Skonieczny, who, commenting on current events, presents the international project of the Krzyżowa Foundation - " Monuments of remembrance. 1918-2018”.
We also encourage you to visit the INVITATIONS and CALL FOR APPLICATIONS sections, where we invite you to participate in our projects and present interesting initiatives we partner.
Krzyżowa in the summer is a musical island, where you can find both classical chamber music sounds as well as guitar or flamenco rhythms. We hope that our cyclical musical events will also take place this year and we will be happy to report them to you in the September issue of our Newsletter. In the meantime we invite you to follow our website and social media channels, where we keep you informed about our projects and initiatives.
Along with the summer sun we wish you a successful and safe holiday and look forward to another - Newsletter - meeting in September. But we also hope that Krzyżowa will be on the route of holiday hikes of some of you and that soon we will meet in beautiful surroundings of our nature and in safe spaces of the Foundation.

KRZYŻOWA FORUM
Three months of the fight for survive is behind us. What will bring the future? Management Board about the situation of the Krzyżowa Foundation
The coronavirus pandemic has brought with it a real threat to the existence of our Foundation. With the "freezing" of activities and the cancellation of almost all projects to be carried out in Krzyżowa in the first half of 2020, the Foundation was cut off a significant part of its incomes. We faced the perspective of dismissal of employees and even bankruptcy. To avoid the worst, we decided to take all possible measures: we reduced the salaries of the entire team, took advantage of the anti-crisis shield provided by the Polish government, reformulated some of the projects in order to implement them online, appealed to our partners and friends for help and asked for extraordinary support from the governments of Poland and Germany, whose political and financial support enabled the creation of the International Youth Meeting Centre 30 years ago. (...)
The past weeks have shown the strength of the Krzyżowa. We can count on the support of governments, we have faithful partners and friends, and a fantastic team. To all of them, to all of you who contribute to the fact that we can look to the future today with more optimism than just a few weeks ago, we would like to thank you very much!
The pandemic and the economic crisis it has created will accompany us for a long time, obstructing our actions and making our financial situation worse. We must focus on a long, difficult struggle that will lead us to survive and to a good future for the Foundation. We will therefore appreciate your continued help and support.We believe that thanks to you we will be able to continue our work and will carry out the mission of Krzyżowa - even in the most difficult circumstances.
Do monuments provoke conflicts? Historian's perspective | Dr. Tomasz Skonieczny
The controversies that currently arises in the US and some Western European countries around monuments depicting former political leaders is an extremely important issue to follow. It says a great deal not only about how much we really know about the past (and thus about the quality of historical education), but also about how we approach commemorating it in public space today. (...)
The creation of monuments and rituals of remembrance, which are held around them, is accompanied by emotions - both positive and negative. This is particularly evident in the case of monuments that take up highly topical and debatable issues - they commemorate controversial figures, events whose course and consequences are not unequivocal - or they are an obvious manipulation of the authorities and tell the past in a false way. (...)
Recent years have provided clear examples of the potential of monuments to trigger conflict. For example, the riots that took place in Latvia in 2007 when the Bronze Soldier monument was attempted to be moved, or the protests of opponents commemorating the leaders of the Civil War, which took place in Charlottesville (USA) in 2017. In both cases, they were wounded and killed. (...)

Project ||"Food - with tradition in modernity"
Food is part of our everyday lives but we are not always aware: where does it come from, how much work is needed to produce it, how is it processed, how does its production affect climate change? Especially the younger generation does not have sufficient knowledge or skills to consciously use food products. Whereas, intercultural cooperation, as a response to global challenges, including food, is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations.
Unfortunately, in the field of nutrition education, this cooperation has not been practically implemented at all. The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and Slow Food Deutschland e. V. set out to change this by creating a joint project „Food - with tradition in modernity. Nurturing and developing the perception of the value of regional and seasonal food. Environmental communication and nutrition education in a European context".

"Educational Permaculture Garden" - design workshops - Krzyżowa, 2-18.06.2020
In Krzyżowa we are preparing to create an educational ecological garden. In connection with this project, a permaculture design workshop was held in June.
The garden is created by the Tecla Architecture Studio with the support of the Plastformers Foundation in the spirit of participation, i.e. with the active participation of the team consisting of employees of the Krzyżowa Foundation. (Gardentim), with whom the designers consult various assumptions about the garden. Thanks to the workshops, even more people could be involved in the process of creating this unique place. These were mainly people from Krzyżowa's immediate surroundings, mostly teachers, but also educators and those who care about ecology and gardening!

Summary of BarCamp "(Hi)Storytelling: My History, Your History, Our History" - 25-26.06.2020
On 25 and 26 June 2020, the first joint online "non-conference" organized by the Kreisau-Initiative e.V. and Krzyżowa Foundation team took place. This "non-conference" is a format called BarCamp originating from the USA and initiated in the IT environment (and the name does not come from the word "bar" but from the IT slang).
Our BarCamp online was entitled "(Hi)Storytelling: My History, Your History, Our History" because we were interested in the approach to modern and virtual forms of historical education in different countries. Initially, our invitation was addressed to educators and educators dealing with history and civic education from Poland, Germany and Ukraine, but eventually the participants included individuals from Russia, the Netherlands, Spain and South Korea.

Pilot project of "School of Dialogue"
Since February this year, the Krzyżowa Foundation has been implementing the pilot project "School of Dialogue", which consists in translating, adapting and testing educational materials of the Dutch program of the Peace School (Vreedzame School). (...)
The "School of Dialogue" program is a structural and systematic contribution to the school environment, which aims to integrate knowledge, tools and skills of cooperation, responsibility, conflict resolution and democratic coexistence in the school program. These goals are achieved by introducing a holistic approach to school culture, which is to be transformed into a democratic community in which children and teachers learn to resolve conflicts constructively. Children also learn how to be responsible for the functioning of the school community. The program is introduced in a two-year phase and includes a series of lessons for all ages (including preschool classes), intensive training for teachers, classroom observation and coaching, and workshops for parents.

Project || "#CreatingSpace A Digital Future with Ethics in Mind”
From 07-12.05.2020 the training #CreatingSpace, about digital ethics in virtual space took place. During 6 days, 16 participants* from Ukraine, Poland and Germany learned and acquired applicable knowledge about teaching methods which should promote the awareness for digital values and enable young people to defend themselves against hate speech on the internet through value-based work. The workshop introduced the participants to a toolbox of methods aimed at strengthening the personality of young people, enabling self-reflection, promoting empathy and dealing with diversity, and then applying the concepts and methods to their own work with young people.
The seminar was planned analogously, but like so many plans it was thwarted by the COVID-19 epidemic. In view of the wild conspiracy theories and fake news about COVID-19, it becomes clear how important media competence is. The fact that a large part of our lives now takes place online also underlines the importance of media ethics competence.

"Our common world - global education of children"– summary of activities so far
This is the third year of the project "Our common world - global education of children", so it is a good time to start summarizing it. (...)
Since 2018, a total of 27 school and preschool establishments from Świdnica, the rural municipality of Świdnica and the surrounding Lower Silesian municipalities, as well as several from Mazovia, have already participated in the project. Each of the 72 teachers took part in four 18-hour workshops on global education ethics, horizontal issues and building attitudes of responsibility, respect, openness and personal commitment, global education methodology, as well as participated in a task workshop where they polished their own global education methods.
Thus, we have at least 72 teachers in the region trained and inspired to introduce new quality of educational work in their institutions. In addition, we have managed to include global education as a subject for the credit of pedagogy students from the University of Warsaw, hoping that they, as future teachers, will introduce global education in their work with children from the beginning. As part of the project, a dozen or so new scenarios for working with pre-school and early-school children have already been developed, and more are being developed. All scenarios can be found on the project website.

BECOME OUR DONOR!
Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe has been in existence for over 30 years, building civil society and working for dialogue between nations.

The mission of the Foundation is to work for the peaceful coexistence of people of different nationalities, beliefs, confessions, as well as maintaining the historical heritage of Krzyżowa. Every year, we are visited by over 20,000 people from over a dozen countries, mainly young people, which is crucial in building international dialogue. We are becoming increasingly involved in activities for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as in ecological projects.
Everyone can be our donor, even the smallest amount transferred to the account of the Krzyżowa Foundation is important to us.
Thank you in advance for any support.
