From 30.09. to 03.10. a specialist seminar for 38 future teachers from Poland and Germany took place in Krzyżowa. The project partners were the University of Wroclaw and Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie Berlin Neukölln.
During the international seminar, future teachers learned about the methodology of working with an international group during school exchanges, methods of integrating the group, language animations, methods of historical work with young people, the principles of organizing school exchanges in cooperation with PNWM.
There was also time to compare the teacher education systems in Poland and Germany, to discuss current Polish-German relations and to integrate, which we hope will result in new school partnerships and new school exchange projects in the future.

From 29 September to 4 October we hosted 60 students from Lviv, Wroclaw and Rheinberg, who are coming to Krzyżowa for the second time in this partnership. During the five-day stay at the exchange, the youth had the opportunity not only to get to know each other better, but also to take part in active intercultural workshops and classes on global education topics (migration, sustainable development, food security). The youth worked on the symbolism of contemporary global challenges combined with art. There were created images of migrants and emotions accompanying them in the situation of migration, which were interpreted by young people. Pupils communicated in English and learned words from each other in their own languages during daily morning evaluations, combined with language animations in small groups.
