Krzyżowa is a place where anyone can find something they’ll enjoy. You can participate in international meetings, as well as have unforgettable holidays with peers from all over Poland. That’s the atmosphere with which we entered the month of July when children came to Krzyżowa to take part in the “Kreatywne wakacje” project. What a week it was!
Aerial silk and trapeze acrobatics, making stop motion movies, art classes and woodwork workshops. To top it all off hiking in the woods, sitting by a fireplace, listening to an international orchestra concert and a movie night. The program included going to an adventure playground, where everyone could test their courage.
The final presentation was the cherry on top-aerial silk acrobatics show interspersed with a showing of stop motion movies and an exhibition of wooden fish figurines. The happiness of the children and appreciation of their parents reassures us that “Kreatywne wakacje” will stay in our summer offer of projects dedicated to youth. See you next summer in Krzyżowa!
We joyfully recall the exceptional final concert of the international project "MUSIC FOR FUTURE" which took place on July 6, 2024, at the Center for Performing Arts (Piekarnia Żywa Kultura) in Wrocław. The concert featured a youth orchestra composed of talented young musicians from Poland, Ukraine, and Germany. It was not only a musical event but also a celebration of integration, mutual understanding, and collective creativity.
The concert began with a brief yet emotional piece by Terry Riley, "In C" setting the enchanting tone for the evening.
Following this, speeches and greetings were delivered:
Dorota Krajdocha, Board Member and Managing Director of the Krzyżowa Foundation, warmly welcomed everyone and emphasized the importance of international cooperation.
Yurii Tokar, Consul General of Ukraine in Wrocław, expressed his joy at participating in such a unique event.
Torsten Göhler, Deputy Consul General of Germany in Wrocław, highlighted the significance of culture and music in building bridges between nations.
