19 students from Poland from the Educational Complex No. 6 in Zielona Góra and 20 German students from the Oberschule Peitzer Land school, aged 12 to 14, met at the " Krzyżowa Foundation to take part in an intercultural school exchange.
During the workshop, the students expanded their knowledge of what stereotypes are and where they come from. Together they came to the conclusion that when we lack sufficient information on a subject, unreflective assumptions can be wrong or hurtful.
Part of the workshop consisted of a joint search for what unites as well as differentiates the two countries and finding a common link between them, which the young people did a great job with.
During a guided tour of the Krzyżowa site, the young people had the opportunity to learn about the multifaceted history of the place, and the reinforcement of the acquired knowledge was a field game.
