Discrimination, racism, anti-Semitism are still dangerous occurences in the modern world to which young people are particularly exposed. Therefore, it is extremely important to speak about them in a language that reaches young people and methods using modern forms of communication.
IYMC in cooperation with the Anne Frank House is preparing a new anti-discrimination project based on methods that respond to today's educational challenges during quarantine. It intends to use the possibilities of Stories that Move - an innovative educational platform dedicated to anti-discrimination and addressed to youth aged 14-17.

A situation of isolation is difficult for everyone. In times of social distancing, it is important to look for ways to get closer together - now digitally and across borders, to take time to reflect and, above all, to find a way to express yourself as a mechanism for dealing with this situation.
Responding to these needs and challenges, the IYMC has prepared a series of 6 webinars in English on the subject of creative writing, webinars will first of all be dedicated to young people who were to come to Krzyżowa this year as part of the school exchange, but were unable to do so because of the epidemic risk. Webinars will be conducted in small German-Polish groups of young people from interested schools. The online seminars will be based on the exchange of experiences of the participants, will strengthen their language skills, but most importantly, they will encourage personal reflection and learning tools to express themselves through creative writing.
