On 4-5 October 2021, a special workshop on historical and civic education took place in Krzyżowa.
A group of 50 students and teachers from Wroclaw Secondary School No. XIII took part in a special screening of the film "Jack Strong" (directed by Władysław Pasikowski), and then participated in a debate - organised in hybrid form - in which Dr Jacek Kołtan and Prof. Pierre-Frédéric Weber talked about the phenomenon of "Solidarity" and the fall of communism in Central Europe.
The event was organised by the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and the Paweł Włodkowic Institute as part of the project 'Festival of unSettled Ideas' which is being carried out in Poland, Germany and Romania as part of the programme 'Europe for Citizens - Remembrance of Europe's Past' and is co-financed by the European Commission.

During several days of workshops, the young people discussed the greatest problems of their countries. There was talk of the climate catastrophe, free media, the right to vote for 16-year-olds.

On 22 September 2021 - after the summer break - a meeting of the Third Age Volunteers took place as part of the "Food - with tradition into modernity" project. We discussed the progress in building the garden, analyzed the texts written by the Volunteers so far, which will become part of the Internet publication, and planned activities for the coming months.
The most important moment of the meeting was the signing of bricks that will become part of the structures built in the ecological garden. One of the bricks - with the name of the late Władysława Wojcieszak, who has supported the Krzyżowa Foundation activities for many years - we all signed together. Each of these bricks will stay here forever.
