From 28 September to 2 October a Polish-German youth exchange took place in Krzyżowa. A group of 32 students from I Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Króla Kazimierza Wielkiego from Olkusz and Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium from Gräfelfing took part in it.
During several days of workshops, the young people discussed the greatest problems of their countries. There was talk of the climate catastrophe, free media, the right to vote for 16-year-olds. The students also had to perform creative tasks, including creating the first page of the magazine (the results of their work are presented below).

On 22 September 2021 - after the summer break - a meeting of the Third Age Volunteers took place as part of the "Food - with tradition into modernity" project. We discussed the progress in building the garden, analyzed the texts written by the Volunteers so far, which will become part of the Internet publication, and planned activities for the coming months.
The most important moment of the meeting was the signing of bricks that will become part of the structures built in the ecological garden. One of the bricks - with the name of the late Władysława Wojcieszak, who has supported the Krzyżowa Foundation activities for many years - we all signed together. Each of these bricks will stay here forever.

In October and November 2021, over 500 students, representatives of all primary schools in Świdnica, visited Krzyżowa as part of the "Świdnicka Mozaika Edukacyjna" project. Students learned together and developed their interests by implementing content related to ecology, nature and science, as well as information and communication technologies.
„Świdnicka Mozaika Edukacyjna” is a partnership project of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe (Partnership Leader) and the Municipality of Świdnica (Project Partner). The project is aimed at teachers, pedagogical staff and students of all 7 public primary schools in Świdnica, whose governing body is the Municipality of the City of Świdnica.
From Saturday, 2nd October, a Polish-German youth exchange is taking place in Krzyżowa. It is attended by students of III Liceum Ogólnokształcące im.
