At the beginning of June (1-3.06.) an international seminar "30 years after the Reconciliation Mass. Polish-German relations on the level of self-government. Achievements and perspectives", in which participated representatives of local authorities from Poland and Germany.

Its aim was to exchange experiences and strengthen cooperation between poviats and municipalities from both countries, and a joint discussion on the prospects for further development of Polish-German relations at the local government level.

The seminar was organized by the Wołowski and Harburg districts. The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe was the partner of the event.

Students from Johannes-Butzbach-Gymnasium in Miltenberg and from Primary School No. 1 in Ostrzeszów spend the end of May in Krzyżowa. A group of over fifty people from Poland and Germany explored the topics of tolerance and diversity in their societies, starting with their class. Partner schools met again, and an inseparable element of the exchange was a trip to Wrocław and an entrance to the Sky Tower viewpoint. Students took part in sports activities, creative activities and a bonfire at the end of the meeting. The aim of the exchange was primarily to spend time together and get to know each other better.

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.
