Accusations of corruption, conflicts, negotiations, forming alliances, and joint decision-making – these were just some elements of the exciting simulation game “Welcome to Krapowa.” During several workshops, participants took on the roles of residents of a fictional town facing various challenges. Through this experience, young people learned cooperation, responsibility, and how democratic processes work in practice.
From April 13 to 18, an exchange of 24 students from partner schools in Sandomierz and Emmendingen took place in Krzyżowa. It was a return visit – the participants already knew each other from a previous exchange – so the atmosphere was open and relaxed from the very beginning. The program focused on getting to know one another, working in international teams, and developing social skills.

Music for Future 2026
International Youth String Orchestra Project
Krzyżowa, Poland | 5–12 July 2026
About the Project
Music for Future is an international youth project built around a shared belief: that music can be a space for genuine encounter, creative courage, and meaningful dialogue.
Born in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this year marks the fifth edition of the project. What began as an act of solidarity has grown into something enduring — a community of young musicians from across Europe who come together each summer to make music, ask difficult questions, and reimagine what it means to be an artist today.
