On 25-29 May we hosted a group of young people from Piotrków Trybunalski and Hildesheim in Krzyżowa. Once again schools came to the International Youth Meeting Center in Krzyżowa. This year, the schools came in a smaller group of thirty students.

During the project, young people learned about the history of the Kreisau Circle, learned from each other and learned their languages through language animations. Students also worked in smaller groups. They learned how to cooperate with each other, but also how they influence, through their behaviour, what happens in other regions of the world (elements of global education).

Schools that participate in the project: St. - Augustinus - Schule from Hildesheim and from the Secondary School Complex No. 1 in Piotrków Trybunalski.

On 23rd May, Dr Tomasz Skonieczny, Deputy Head of the European Academy, gave a lecture for the students of the Institute of Political Science in the field of Social Project Management, during which he presented the organization and daily work of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe.

In 2018, the Foundation for the Development of Education and Higher Education awarded the above mentioned field of study the Certificate "Studies with the Future" and the Laurel of Innovation.

On May 20, a group of young people from Wałbrzych (Primary School of the Clever Foundation) and their guests from Dortmund visited Krzyżowa. For many years, the schools have been carrying out the exchange in families, but every year they come to visit Krzyżowa because of the historical importance of our place. Pedagogues from the IYMC together with the youth conducted integration workshops building cooperation in a group, historical workshops and creative workshops, during which the youth in mixed groups developed their exchange logo and decorated cotton bags and backpacks.

On May 20-24 at the International Youth Meeting Center in Krzyżowa a Polish-German youth meeting took place. The exchange is attended by students from Friedrich-Ludwig-Jahn Gymnasium Forst, who have been learning Polish for a year, and students from Primary School No. 10 in Debica, which in turn is learning German. This unique combination results in great mutual curiosity and many opportunities to deepen the knowledge of the language of the partner school. The exchange program includes many language animations, workshops with elements of theatre pedagogy, workshops on communication and cooperation in groups, historical workshops, guided tours of Wrocław and a trip around Krzyżowa.

The school from Forst came to Krzyżowa for the 10th time! This extraordinary jubilee was celebrated with a cake and a diploma from the Krzyżowa Foundation.
