Students from music schools and academies from Poland and Germany as well as Ukraine are invited to participate. The orchestra will be performed with a full symphonic line-up. We are keen that each participant should be able to experience the learning process and the unique integration offered by playing in an international orchestra, to meet peers with the same passions who come from another country. At the same time, we care about motivated students who are ready to work consistently on the artistic programme.

From November 6 to 11 2023, German studies students from Poland and Ukraine met with students from vocational schools in Germany at the IYMC Krzyżowa to get to know each other and exchange ideas on the topic of "Migration/Migration movements in Europe". The 43 participants traveled from Kraków (Jagiellonian University), Lviv (Ivan Franko National University) and Hannover (Alice Salomon School). The meeting took place for the second time in this trinational format. The language of the project was German in order to give the students from Kraków and Lviv the opportunity to practice their language skills. It was a very intensive week with many different workshops on the topic of "flight and migration", in which the participants actively took part with their own family migration stories, creative posters, role play, pantomime performances and discussions.

19 students from Poland from the Educational Complex No. 6 in Zielona Góra and 20 German students from the Oberschule Peitzer Land school, aged 12 to 14, met at the " Krzyżowa Foundation to take part in an intercultural school exchange.
During the workshop, the students expanded their knowledge of what stereotypes are and where they come from. Together they came to the conclusion that when we lack sufficient information on a subject, unreflective assumptions can be wrong or hurtful.
Part of the workshop consisted of a joint search for what unites as well as differentiates the two countries and finding a common link between them, which the young people did a great job with.
During a guided tour of the Krzyżowa site, the young people had the opportunity to learn about the multifaceted history of the place, and the reinforcement of the acquired knowledge was a field game.
