What is school (as an institution and as a place)? How should we, as a society, treat it? Is there room for dialogue and concern for the welfare of students and teachers? What needs of the school and people who make it up have been reminded to us by the pandemic?

The Krzyżowa Foundation started cooperation with the Czech organisation Post Bellum in implementing the project "Together over the borders of totalitarian systems" (Společně mezi hranicemi totalitních systemu), which aims to present the reaction with which the armed suppression of the Prague Spring by Warsaw Pact troops in August 1968 met in Czechoslovakia and Poland.
In the framework of the project, relations of Czech witnesses of these events and Polish participants and organisers of protests and solidarity actions will be recorded. The recordings will be used to prepare a documentary film, presented in the Czech Republic and Poland in the autumn of 2021.
