The year 2020, in addition to the many challenges we faced, also brought the Krzyżowa Foundation a lot of good. The small number of guests allowed us to focus on improving the operation of our center in terms of its impact on the environment. The project "Towards sustainable development in education and practice", which we implement thanks to funding from the Heinrich Böll Foundation from Warsaw allowed us to implement many pro-ecological projects and develop this part of our activity, both in terms of education and practice (in line with the name of the project).
As we assumed it a year ago, while working on the ecoconcept, we introduce ecological solutions with the participation of members of various departments of the foundation - substantive employees cooperate with technical employees. Thanks to this, many educational materials were created, including those for use in the space of our center. Some of them are:
- series of posters on the environmental costs of food production;
- ecological instructions for the use of equipment;
- offer of 5-day educational stays on ecology and global education;
- nature boards that show various aspects of nature around Krzyżowa;
- methodological manual with educational materials about sustainable development and post-growth;
- we have been working in our kitchen to make the vegetarian and vegan offer more attractive, as well as to introduce more seasonal and local products and to reduce food waste;
- we graphically present our eco-solutions in the functioning of the center.
We will inform you about individual projects in the new year, so please follow our website and social media.
A lot of new ecological content can be found in the "Green Krzyżowa" tab.
