After 13 years, Nina Lüders has left the Kreisau-Initiative e.V., our sister organisation in Berlin, to begin a new phase in her professional life. In her role as Executive Director, she was the most significant contact person for the Krzyzowa Foundation over a long period of time and shaped the good partnership and growing cooperation between our organisations. With her expertise and her network, she brought many important impulses to Krzyzowa. Beyond her professional qualities, we have also perceived her as an extraordinary person who shapes communication and work processes with a great deal of empathy and understanding. We will therefore miss Nina Lüders in many ways. At the same time, we wish her all the best in her new stage of professional life and thank her most sincerely for her commitment, heart and soul and the memories she left behind. We hope that Krzyżowa will always stay in your heart, Nina!

We would like to recommend the farewell article written about Nina Lüders by Urlike Kind, a board member of the Kreisau Initiative e.V. association.

Robert Żurek and Dorota Krajdocha

On 12 December 2022, a meeting of more than 100 participants of the 'Dialogue of Generations' project from the districts of Świdnica, Dzierżoniów and Wałbrzych took place in Krzyżowa. There were three reasons for this meeting: The end of the project, the approaching start of the astronomical winter and the fact that any reason is good to have fun together.
The project started six months ago, on 23 June, with an opening conference. In the following months, the senior citizens took part in activities, trips to concerts and the theatre, as well as various workshops, which are too numerous to count.
