On 13-16 May, in Krzyżowa, the second Learning Teaching Training Activity took place - a seminar for educators and multipliers within the framework of the strategic partnership on education for sustainable development and post-growth.
During the seminar, participants tried to answer the question why cultural sensitivity in education for social-ecological transformation matters. The first outline of a manual to be produced by the project was also presented. There were also sessions led by the project team, and seminar participants were invited to co-create an open space session.

22 students from Poland and Germany met in Krzyżowa on 16-21 May and took part in a school exchange. As every year, youth from Kherson were also supposed to participate in the event. Unfortunately, the war in Ukraine made this meeting impossible, which is extremely sad for all of us. The absence of the Ukrainian school, a long-standing partner of the tri-national exchange, was keenly felt by all participants.
The main theme of the school exchange was 'Europe and me'. That is why the youth first learnt about the history of Krzyżowa and nearby Wrocław and then reflected on their associations connected with the word 'Europe'. Reflecting on their family histories and discussing European values was an important part of this process.

We have previously published an English-language publication containing historical essays to explore the topic of "plundered" children, and a Polish-language version of two essays created by Polish authors (both publications can be found on our website: ONLINE PUBLICATION || A collection of historical essays about the “stolen” children. English language version oraz ONLINE PUBLICATION || A collection of Polish historical essays on 'stolen' children).
Now we are handing over to you a collection of lesson scenarios for secondary schools, which can be of help to teachers who would like to introduce their students to the history of children "stolen" by the Nazi regime in occupied Poland and the post-war fate of the victims of this policy.
The scenario has been prepared especially with the Polish school in mind, but nothing stands in the way of using it, after appropriate adaptation, within the framework of non-formal education.
