This year's anniversary of the Reconciliation Mass at Krzyżowa had a more modest and cosy character - mainly due to the pandemic in the country. The Board of the Krzyżowa Foundation celebrated this important jubilee on 15 November with its closest partners, the co-hosts of Krzyżowa: Mrs. Teresa Mazurek - the Head of the Świdnica Municipality and Mr. Piotr Fedorowicz - the Head of the Świdnica District. The Consul General of Germany in Wrocław, Mr. Hans Jörg Neumann, accepted the invitation of the Board of the Foundation and the authorities of the municipality and the district and took part in the solemn meeting in the House on the Hill in Krzyżowa.
The participants of the meeting discussed the past and the people who built the Polish-German agreement. But the discussions also focused on the opportunities that we and our partners face thanks to such successful cooperation. At the House on the Hill, therefore, joint projects were also discussed in the context of the European Year of Youth 2022, cooperation between local authorities and the Consulate General in Wrocław, as well as potential changes resulting from the elections to be held in Germany.
The anniversary of the Reconciliation Mass was also an opportunity for the Board of the Foundation to express its gratitude to the Świdnica Municipality, the Świdnica District and the Consulate General. The period of the pandemic is extremely difficult for the International Youth Meeting Center and the entire Foundation. The support of the local authorities and the Consulate is very important and helped Krzyżowa to survive the most difficult moments. The Board emphasised how important such partners are for NGOs and how many projects, important for local and international communities, can be realised together in the future.
