On 18-19 January, the First Congress of employees and volunteers of the Krzyżowa Foundation and the International Conference Centre 1990-2020 was held in Krzyżowa. This event closed the celebration of the Jubilee Year of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe.
The meeting was attended by more than 60 people - employees and volunteers who are currently, but also for the past 30 years, associated with Krzyżowa. The programme of the meeting included a tour of the Foundation's premises, common integration games, memorial presentations and plenty of time for talks.
From 16 to 17 January the educational teams of the Kreisau Initiative and the Kreisau Foundation for European Understanding met in Kreisau/Krzyżowa. The aim of the meeting was to develop concrete strategies for cooperation in 2020 and the future.
In addition, concrete projects were discussed, activities and goals and new projects were presented. At the same time, there were a training session for employees on the concept of "taking care of yourself, paying attention to balance at work".
The first school exchange in Krzyżowa this year started on 13-17 January 2020. A Polish-German-Ukrainian youth group came to the International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyżowa. Students from Berlin, Melitopol and Warsaw had the opportunity to get to know each other well during integration games and plays, as well as workshops on history and intercultural communication. The result of the joint work in the tri-national groups were stop motion animations on the topic "Fighting Stereotypes". Young people were also have the opportunity to present their cultures, cities and schools during the international evening. Students took also a one-day trip to Wrocław.
The time spent together certainly helped to overcome prejudices and make new friends.
