Online youth meeting - can it work? Yes!
In April, the first online meeting of young people from schools in Olkusz and Gräfelfing, which have been meeting with their groups in Krzyżowa for many years, took place. This time, the meeting was different but no less informative. The content of the programme focused on the topic "Digital Ethics" and brought together 30 young people in a virtual space. During the four days of the project, the participants reflected on their own media behaviour and analysed the relationship between personal needs and the use of social media and other applications. They discussed and named anti-democratic tendencies on the Internet and learned about the concept of "counterspeech" in order to work constructively to make the Internet a place based on democratic values by standing up for democracy and human rights online, taking action against hate speech and spreading positive narratives.

It's been a busy week. From Thursday to Saturday (25-27th of February 2021), we had the pleasure to host the second workshop session as part of the International Essay Competition entitled "My Europe of Freedom". A total of 42 people from Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany participated in the history and literary workshops, of which 33 were young people aged 16-29 looking for an essay idea.
Historical workshops were conducted by: Dr. Tomasz Skonieczny ("Krzyżowa" Foundation), Andrea Böhm (Bildungswerk Sachsen) and Michael Urban. Literary workshops were conducted by Constanze John, Radosław Wiśniewski and Pavlína Hilscherova. The meeting, moderated by Adelajda Lebioda ("Krzyżowa" Foundation), was also an opportunity for an international exchange of thoughts on the events of the 1980s and 1990s, in the countries of the so-called Eastern Bloc. Everyone could share their reflection with others and thus answer the following questions: What reasons did society have to go out on the streets and fight against the system of that time? How do we view those events from today's perspective? What role did those events play on the way to the Europe we live in today?
