As part of the Polish-German transnational cooperation, the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and Slow Food Germany carried out the first joint intercultural educational project on sustainable eating, which involved young people, children, teachers and educators.

The basic idea was to combine practical activities in the garden and the workshop kitchen with innovative teaching methods. The project received substantive and financial support from the German Federal Environment Foundation (DBU), Osnabrück.

From 8th to 13th of October 2022 31 pupils from the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium Kaiserlautern and the Lyceum Nr. 9 from Leszno met in Krzyżowa for a week of exchange. At the beginning stood integration and language animation games to get to know each other and a tour through Krzyżowa to learn about the history of the place. Since the Ukrainian school from Odessa unfortunately was not able to come, a joint video conference was part of the program to get an insight into the current situation in Odessa.

The Taube Department of Jewish Studies at University of Wrocław and the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe are organising a conference on 26 October 2022: "Reading Benno Jacob in the Taube Chair of Jewish Studies".

Rabbi Benno Jacob (1862-1945) was born in Wrocław, where he studied at the Jewish Theological Seminary and the University of Wrocław. Jacob was a social activist who fought against anti-Semitism.


The reading of Benno Jacob will begin with a general question: how to situate his work on the contemporary map of thought and with particular reference to his commentary on the Akedah.
The intention of organising a conference devoted to Benno Jacob is to initiate a discussion both on his achievements and, more broadly, on the achievements of the intellectual milieu of Jews associated with Wrocław before 1939.

On behalf of the Foundation, Edward Skubisz, M.A., will take part in the conference.

 

From September 22th to 25th 2022 the Kreisau-journey of the Diakonissenanstalt Dresden e.V. took place. 23 participants between 37 and over 80 years came to Krzyżowa to learn about the history of Kreisau and to deal with the German-Polish history and - in workshops - with the topics of resistance and reconciliation.
