From 16th to 21st September, Krzyżowa hosted groups of young people from Jerzy Kukuczka Primary School No. 58 in Poznań and Albert-Einstein-Schule in Langen. Their common project concerned the topic of sustainable development. Pupils had the opportunity to explore this topic through active workshops, simulation games and creative workshops on upcycling.

The workshop showed not only how this process can reduce the number of materials used in production, but have also teached how to reduce the amount of waste in everyday activities.
