The last training meeting of primary school and kindergarten teachers from Świdnica, who have been taking part in the project "Our Common World - Global Education for Children" since January, is behind us.
This time, it was the participants who played the leading role and presented to the trainers the lesson plans they had developed. The opportunity to present and jointly evaluate their ideas was the last training element in Krzyżowa. After its completion, teachers armed with knowledge, methods and materials will be able to successively diversify the activities with children in their schools, and the effectiveness of introducing new methods, participants will have the opportunity to share with us in a dozen or so days at a 1-day evaluation meeting.
The project is co-financed by the Polish development cooperation programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland in 2018.

On 25-29 May we hosted a group of young people from Piotrków Trybunalski and Hildesheim in Krzyżowa. Once again schools came to the International Youth Meeting Center in Krzyżowa. This year, the schools came in a smaller group of thirty students.
During the project, young people learned about the history of the Kreisau Circle, learned from each other and learned their languages through language animations. Students also worked in smaller groups. They learned how to cooperate with each other, but also how they influence, through their behaviour, what happens in other regions of the world (elements of global education).
Schools that participate in the project: St. - Augustinus - Schule from Hildesheim and from the Secondary School Complex No. 1 in Piotrków Trybunalski.

From 11th to 17th of May in Krzyżowa there is another Exchange of Expertise project. Participants were divided into four thematic groups, which deal with: work in wood, work in the garden, culinary workshops and photojournalism workshops. The carpentry group will deal with, among other things, making beehives at the House on the Hill, which will refer to those that stood there at the beginning of the 20th century. Freya von Moltke kept in beehives letters from her husband, Helmuth James, so that they would not fall into the wrong hands.
Exchange of Expertise is an international workshop with the participation of young people from Poland and Germany. Their aim is intercultural integration. What distinguishes him from other projects is the fact that integration, dialogue and mutual acquaintance are realized in practical classes, during which professional skills of the participants are used.
