Corona has affected the daily lives of each and every individual in the earth, including our pedagog Tabitha from Germany and our volunteers Seda from Turkey and Antonina from Russia, who have been staying in Krzyżowa Foundation for months. The following sentences will tell you their daily lifes and how they try to turn this challenging situation into a common good for the society and the foundation. Not to forget mentioning about the generous helps and supports of our other employees, we hope our stories bring you inspiration and strength towards the solidarity in these difficult times.

Discrimination, racism, anti-Semitism are still dangerous occurences in the modern world to which young people are particularly exposed. Therefore, it is extremely important to speak about them in a language that reaches young people and methods using modern forms of communication.

IYMC in cooperation with the Anne Frank House is preparing a new anti-discrimination project based on methods that respond to today's educational challenges during quarantine. It intends to use the possibilities of Stories that Move - an innovative educational platform dedicated to anti-discrimination and addressed to youth aged 14-17.

The Innovation and Development Office of the "Krzyżowa" Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe is very busy: the office team prepares payment applications and proceedings for projects implemented under the European Social Fund, prepares recovery plans for activities that cannot be carried out now due to the pandemic, maintains constant contact with the Marshal's Office and the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy and with transnational partners of our projects from Denmark, Ireland and Germany.

A situation of isolation is difficult for everyone. In times of social distancing, it is important to look for ways to get closer together - now digitally and across borders, to take time to reflect and, above all, to find a way to express yourself as a mechanism for dealing with this situation.

Responding to these needs and challenges, the IYMC has prepared a series of 6 webinars in English on the subject of creative writing, webinars will first of all be dedicated to young people who were to come to Krzyżowa this year as part of the school exchange, but were unable to do so because of the epidemic risk. Webinars will be conducted in small German-Polish groups of young people from interested schools. The online seminars will be based on the exchange of experiences of the participants, will strengthen their language skills, but most importantly, they will encourage personal reflection and learning tools to express themselves through creative writing.
