On 20th May at the International Youth Meeting Center in Krzyżowa another international school exchange will start. For the 7th time, as a partnership, a group of young people from the High School Complex in Kłodawa and Erich Kästner Gymnasium from Laatzen will come to Krzyżowa.

65 pupils will face the themes of World War II in order to create a better common future.

Organizers: ZSP Nr. 5 Kłodawa, Erich-Kästner Gymnasium Laatzen, "Krzyżowa" Foundation for European Understanding.

From 20 to 24 May a German-Polish school meeting took place between 2 primary schools in the International Youth Meeting Centre in Kreisau. The participants from Hamburg and Gdansk got to know each other in art workshops, cooperation games and during the joint activities. It was a very special project for us in Kreisau, as two primary school classes met. The school meeting revolved around the topic underwater world and in workshops the children dealt with the topic sustainability. Together the students discussed in workshops about children's rights and visions, wishes and dreams for the future. The time spent together enabled new acquaintances, the dismantling of language barriers and many football tournaments.

Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe, the Magyar Bibliodráma Egyesület (Hungarian Society for Bibliodrama), Deutsche Gesellschaft für Bibliodrama (The German Society for Bibliodrama) and Polskie Towarzystwo Bibliodramy (The Polish Society for Bibliodrama) were organizers of an ecumenical, international bibliodramatic workshop in Krzyżowa from 4 to 8 August this year.

This year's 30th anniversary of the Reconciliation Mass in Krzyżowa, the beginnings of the Foundation Krzyżowa and the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War were for us above all an opportunity to reflect together more intensively on the theme of reconciliation. The issue was dealt with both in the theoretical part in the form of lectures and in the practical part, i.e. the bibliodramatic workshops.

On 17-19 May we will be hosting in Krzyżowa members of the German-Polish Society of Saxony. During their study stay, they will take part in lectures and discussions, as well as visit Lower Silesia.

Guests from Saxony will listen to the lectures given by:

  • Dr. Annemarie Franke - member of the Supervisory Board of the Krzyżowa Foundation and the Commission for the Memorial Site and the European Academy
  • Dominik Kretschmann - Head of the Memorial Site
  • Prof. Dr. Krzysztof Ruchniewicz - Director of the Willy Brandt Center for German and European Studies, University of Wrocław
  • dr Robert Żurek - Managing Director of the Krzyżowa Foundation, Director of the European Academy
