The school classes of Städtisches Gymnasium Thomaeum from Kempen and the Association of Local Initiatives Przystań (Port) from Ulanów spent their exchange week in Krzyżowa from 27-31 August 2024, parallel to the international chamber orchestra project Krzyżowa Music, because the encounter was dedicated to the medium of music and discovering other cultures with its help.
The 33 participants aged between 12 and 16 therefore also took part in the opening concert of Krzyżowa Music in the Peace church in Świdnica.
This time, the participants discovered Krzyżowa in a completely new way - through sounds, which they captured in small international groups at various locations in Krzyżowa, recorded on tablets and used to develop a composition, in which a wide variety of instruments were used and there were no limits to the group's creativity. The work of the small groups culminated in a concert of sound compositions.

Krzyżowa is a place where anyone can find something they’ll enjoy. You can participate in international meetings, as well as have unforgettable holidays with peers from all over Poland. That’s the atmosphere with which we entered the month of July when children came to Krzyżowa to take part in the “Kreatywne wakacje” project. What a week it was!
Aerial silk and trapeze acrobatics, making stop motion movies, art classes and woodwork workshops. To top it all off hiking in the woods, sitting by a fireplace, listening to an international orchestra concert and a movie night. The program included going to an adventure playground, where everyone could test their courage.
The final presentation was the cherry on top-aerial silk acrobatics show interspersed with a showing of stop motion movies and an exhibition of wooden fish figurines. The happiness of the children and appreciation of their parents reassures us that “Kreatywne wakacje” will stay in our summer offer of projects dedicated to youth. See you next summer in Krzyżowa!
