The TikTok app has reached one billion active users faster than any other social network ever. The app is, also thanks to Corona, an indispensable part of the smartphone for many young people. But how exactly does the app work and what makes it so special compared to Instagram and Snapchat? What dangers does it offer, but also what opportunities? Is there a balance between lip-sync and political participation that we can find and focus on in terms of young people's media literacy and to create a responsible use of the app in the future?

These are the questions we will address in our 70-minute webinar. The event will be held in Polish and English and will be translated.

A BarCamp is a special conference, whose programme is developed together with all participants on site. Here, everyone can get involved, present ideas around the topic “(Hi)Storytelling” and benefit from the knowledge of others.

The BarCamp offers youth workers a platform on which they can exchange information on current issues relating to educational work and network with experts. The focus is on historical and civic education, current challenges for the work due to the coronavirus crisis and political changes such as the restriction of civil liberties, the closing of borders etc. as well as the common search for alternatives to continue our work.

What can we learn from the central ideas of the Kreisau Circle regarding a positive, democratic culture of debate on the Internet?

In Kreisau the preparations for our online training „#CreatingSpace: A digital future with ethics in mind“ are in full swing! The heritage of the Kreisauer Kreis forms the historical frame around the project and the participants should have the possibility to visit the house on the hill virtually!

The project is funded by the Foundation for German-Polish Cooperation and the Konrad-Adenauer Foundation in Poland.

Since February this year, the Krzyżowa Foundation has been implementing the pilot project "School of Dialogue", which consists in translating, adapting and testing educational materials of the Dutch program of the Peace School (Vreedzame School).

This program was created by the Dutch institution CED Groep and was first implemented 15 years ago in Utrecht. Today, more than 1,000 primary schools in the Netherlands are "peaceful" and the number is growing every year. This model works especially in schools at risk of peer violence, in conflicted communities, hence we assume that after adapting to Polish educational and cultural conditions, it will also work in Poland.
