Between September 24th and 26th, Krzyżowa hosted educational workshops of the "Monuments of Remembrance 1918-2018" project.

During the workshops, young people who have participated in the project since the beginning of this year, took part in workshops devoted to civic education and listened to lectures on collective memory, conflicts of memory, attitudes towards foreign cultural heritage and, on the example of decommunization in Poland, the difficult process of settling accounts for the relics of the past.

During the workshops, participants had the opportunity to listen to the following speakers:

29 students from the primary schools in Ulanovo and Kempen met on September 10 in Krzyżowa. During the project they got to know each other, talked about differences and similarities in everyday life and school systems in Poland and Germany.

Students also had the opportunity to cooperate on a multimedia project. Together they conducted interviews, which they then posted on the Foundation's profile on Instagram. The effects of their work can be seen here: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17865014521485562/

The students also took part in the trip and visited Wrocław together. On every possible occasion the children practiced their language skills. The pupils spoke English and learned their own languages.

From 16th to 21st September, Krzyżowa hosted groups of young people from Jerzy Kukuczka Primary School No. 58 in Poznań and Albert-Einstein-Schule in Langen. Their common project concerned the topic of sustainable development. Pupils had the opportunity to explore this topic through active workshops, simulation games and creative workshops on upcycling. Upcycling is forms of waste recycling that produce higher-value products – valuable raw materials. The workshop showed not only how this process can reduce the number of materials used in production, but have also teached how to reduce the amount of waste in everyday activities.

On 15 September, a debut school exchange started in Krzyżowa. Young people from the Montessori-Biberkor school and from the High School in Świecie meet for the first time at the IYMC in Krzyżowa, and the motto of the exchange is "Faces of Europe". Students will discover together the history of Europe and its different faces. They will also get to know the unique past of Krzyżowa, in which the fates of many people and nations intertwined.

The project will last until 19 September.
