IV Suzuki Workshop in Krzyzowa - July 7 -10, 2022
The 4th Suzuki workshop in Krzyzowa was be held in June. Participants took part in group lessons, played in chamber ensembles and orchestra, and took part in solo concerts and a final concert.
The Suzuki Method is a system for teaching young children to play music instruments on an imitative basis, created by Japanese violinist Shinichi Suzuki. The method was developed for all children so that every child can learn to play the violin, rather than for the training of only exceptionally gifted children.
Invited teachers: Joanna Jurkiewicz, Anna Koszel, Jolanta Krawczewska (cello), Paweł Kulczycki, Maria Lojek (Simply Violin), Barbara Plaza, Maria Magdalena Rogowska, Kacper Birula (conductor).
Children and parents can use the recreational facilities of our palace complex in Krzyzowa (park, playground, fireplace and other resources for outdoor activities, art workshop).

Krzyżowa for Ukraine, active first week of holidays!
Almost four months have passed since the moment when the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe was qualified by the voivode of Lower Silesia and the municipality of Świdnica as an ad hoc accommodation for refugees from Ukraine. Since then, nearly 100 people from Ukraine have been staying in our center, more than half of whom are children. For families who have escaped from the war, we provide safe shelter, while organizing the possibility of education, development and active spending of free time.

June is slowly coming to an end and this means that along with it the school year is ending. A few of our young guests from Ukraine, since March, have been attending the Primary School in Grodziszcze and the Secondary School No. 1 in Świdnica. On Friday, June 24, 2022 along with their classmates, Ukrainian students for the first time took part in the end of the school year in Poland, thus receiving a promotion to the next grade.
In spite of the end of the school year, Polish language classes for our guests from Ukraine are still held on the Foundation's premises. Four times a week all of those who are interested attend two-hour lessons, which are co-financed by the Evangelical Theological School.
In this way, despite the war, young refugees have a chance to educate themselves, eliminate the feeling of temporariness and integrate with their peers and the local community.
We now wish you a restful vacation from school!
