On August 15th, in the courtyard of the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe a FAMILY PICNIC took place. The organizers invited to the event residents of Krzyżowa and surrounding towns and villages. Many attractions awaited the participants, which allowed them to spend an interesting afternoon, and for the Foundation it was an opportunity to remind the local community about the 30th anniversary of this unique meeting place.

The PICNIC programme was addressed, among others, to the youngest residents - children took part in artistic and ecological workshops, during which they made ecological bags and decorated wooden medals. The youngest children could also make their own buttons, magnets and key rings. When the participants went through all the workshops and completed the tasks in the sports town, they received a special newspaper with their photo as a reward. After the tasks had been completed, the children could use the inflatable jumping castles, which were at their disposal all the time.

On 24-31 July 2019 youth from Polish and German borderlands met in International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyżowa. The youth was getting to know each other and discovered their cultures during a variety of artistic and sports activities as well as trips. The pinwhole photography and photography transfer to wood, rafting trip as well as workshops about the neighbour’s country let the participants start new friendships and overcome prejudice.

During the project trips to Wrocław, Bardo and Strzegom took place. The project was cofinanced by both PNWM and Interreg.

From 28.07 to 02. August a magical German-Polish school meeting took place in the International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyżowa. It was our next summer project dedicated to the groups of children from Germany and Poland (8-12 years old). We learned together how to communicate despite the language barrier.

In addition to the magical program and magical games, the children were playfully dealing with the question of how they imagine their future, what trust and what courage means. There was a trip to the climbing park, dance and circus workshop, and at the end a magic show. A magician visited the group and learned kids little tricks.

Guitar Masters Camp (formerly Summer Guitar Festival) is a prestigious musical event taking place in Krzyżowa for nineteen years. In addition to the well-known masters of classical guitar, Krzyżowa is visited by prominent representatives of other specialties. The event includes master classes and workshops of classical, acoustic, electric, jazz, bass and flamenco guitar and dance. The festival participants have the opportunity to see DVD presentations, lectures and exhibitions of guitars and musical accessories.

In the evenings, lecturers and workshop participants meet during the "Jam Sessions" in the Palace in Krzyżowa. It is a paradise for common playing music, perfecting the art of improvisation and... other creative activities.
