About the project

The year 2025 in the Likhtar-Krzyżowa project was a time of intensive effort focused on fostering cooperation between Poland, Germany, and Ukraine. We successfully implemented 13 TRIYOU trilateral youth exchanges, involving hundreds of young people. Participants met in international groups, attended workshops, and engaged with themes of history, identity, and relationships within a culturally diverse environment.

The Likhtar-Krzyżowa network expanded by 12 new partner organizations. This growth meant not only a larger scale of operations but also a need to clarify the rules of cooperation and responsibility. To address this, we developed the "Trilateral Partnership Checklist," which streamlines communication, role distribution, and joint project planning.

What happens when young people from Poland, Germany, and Ukraine meet in Krzyżowa? Boundaries disappear, and understanding is born. Our latest film takes you on a journey full of energy, emotions, and authentic relationships that are shaping the future of Europe.

The TRIYOU project is a space where dialogue and respect form the foundation of collective action. In Krzyżowa, we prove that building a peaceful Europe starts with a single conversation by the campfire, a shared dance, or working together in an artistic workshop.

In Krzyżowa, history comes to life, and textbook topics turn into vivid discussions. Together, we explore the difficult chapters of our continent's history and visit memorial sites. At the same time, through direct dialogue, we build contemporary foundations of solidarity and understanding of the challenges Europe faces today. This experience allows young people to look deeper into their own identity and understand what it means to take responsibility for a common tomorrow.
