During the "Skills for future" exchange, young people from Hungary, Germany and Poland developed their skills, digging into the secrets of acrobatics, sculpture and culinary. Participants from the Youth Sociotherapy Center No. 2 in Wroclaw, IB Mitte in Ebersbach and the NENESZ oganization from Pecel, Hungary, met to get to know peers from other countries in an unusual environment, share their culture, get to know each other and develop passions together.

The "Triyou" trilateral meeting Krzepice-Marl-Dnipro took place in Krzyżowa on February 19th-23rd, 2024, as a new edition of a long lasting partnership between the three schools. There were meeting a group of 20 students from the Willy Brandt Gesamtschule in Marl, 20 students from the School complex in Krzepice (Zespół Szkół w Krzepicach), and 24 Students from the Ukrainian school "Steam" from Dnipro.
The topic of this exchange was intercultural cooperation and historical/political education. Besides from different activities to learn to know each other and language animation, the students were encouraged to cooperated while solving different team challenges. They were challengend by building the hihghest spagetti tower or a paper bridge and finally by constructing an object to make it possible to let an egg fall from the balcony of our Pałac without breaking it. As a standard in Krzyzowa, they discovered the history of the resistance group Kreisau Circle and the reconciliation mass that lead to the creation of the youth center. Dring this years excurions, the students could also visit the memorial place of the former concentration camp of Gross Rosen all together and also discover the history of the castle of Książ/Furstenstein and the tunnel complex "Riese" beneath it.

Krzyżowa Foundation, in cooperation with partners from the Netherlands, Romania and Italy, is implementing a new educational project 'Remember the Rebel'. 

The aim of the project is to discuss the foundations of democracy, the relevance of legislated law to the changing needs of society and the limits of civil disobedience.
