Cheers!

Spring is in full swing, so the area around the Foundation is green and more plants appear. Among them also nettle, which - as part of one of our ecological projects - will be on the boards of nature which are currently being created by Ania - our friend from the European Academy.

Ania works on the graphic concept of boards, prepares texts in three languages ​​and ... sips nettle tea!

Cheers!

Krzyżowa in the movies...

Last summer a film crew worked for one day in Oak Avenue. Today you can watch the scenes shot on our beautiful alley leading to the Palace. There is already a film "Der Überläufer" available (directed by Florian Gallenberger), in which our alley "played" (4 minutes of the film).

"Der Überläufer" is an adaptation of the famous novel "Dezerter" by the German writer, Goethe Prize winner Siegfried Lenz, published also in Poland. The main character of the action of the novel, which takes place in 1944, is a young Wehrmacht soldier from Elk Walter Proska, assigned to a small unit to secure the railway line. Locked in a forest bunker, exhausted by the heat and the attacks of partisan forces, the soldiers who doubt the sense of the war are getting madder and madder every day. Trying to find themselves among this chaos Proska decides to desert and join the Polish partisans.

A day in an (improvised) film studio!

It is such a pity, that the conference: "Do the good - global education in the primary school" organised by Ośrodek Działań Ekologicznych "Źródła" couldn't take place in a regular way.

Instead all of the presentations have been recorded by professionals and will  be made available on-line. Foundation "Krzyżowa" was represented by Anna Dańkowska, who talked about the educational materials about sustainable food in peer-to-peer approach "A recipe for a better world - we educate peers about food".

The publication is addressed to young people who would like to play the role of educators for their peers. It is about resources needed for food production, food origin, food waste and ways to reduce it, such as zero-waste cuisine, organic farming and the involvement of young people in campaigning activities.

We will inform, when the recordings from the conference will be ready.
