From October 6 to 10, 2019, a contact seminar for teachers from Poland, Germany and Belarus took place in Krzyżowa. During the seminar, participants developed competences related to the preparation and implementation of school exchanges with young people from Poland, Germany and Belarus.

The aim of the meeting was not only to establish specific contacts and build potential partnerships to carry out exchange projects, but also to familiarize oneself with the substantive organization of school exchanges. For representatives from Belarus it was the first experience of participating in such a seminar. The Belarusian partner was the IBB organization from Minsk. 23 people took part in the project - 11 people from Poland and Germany and 12 people from Belarus.

From 29 September to 4 October we hosted 60 students from Lviv, Wroclaw and Rheinberg, who are coming to Krzyżowa for the second time in this partnership. During the five-day stay at the exchange, the youth had the opportunity not only to get to know each other better, but also to take part in active intercultural workshops and classes on global education topics (migration, sustainable development, food security). The youth worked on the symbolism of contemporary global challenges combined with art. There were created images of migrants and emotions accompanying them in the situation of migration, which were interpreted by young people. Pupils communicated in English and learned words from each other in their own languages during daily morning evaluations, combined with language animations in small groups.

Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe was among the winners of the GlobART competition organized by ProgettoMondo Mlal Onlus from Verona. The Italian organization realized the contest within the framework of regranting for global education activities financed by the European Commission ("Start the Change!" project).

The winning project of the Foundation includes 11 exchanges for young people and students aged 14-18 and 18-25, which will take place between October 2019 and 15 May 2020. The target group (300 people) are young people of different nationalities (from Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Romania) who will participate in youth exchanges at the Krzyżowa Foundation. One of the main topics of these meetings will be global education. The youth will work on one of the selected topics:

On 30 September in Bratislava took place meeting of partners of the project ‘30 Years After the Fall of the Iron Curtain’, coordinated by the Slovak organization Post Bellum SK.

The aim of the project is to look at the experience of 1989, the year in which the Iron Curtain collapsed, in selected countries of Central Europe.

Within the framework of the project, the Krzyżowa Foundation cooperates with Post Bellum SK (Slovakia) and Post Bellum CZ (Czech Republic).
