WE ARE EXTENDING THE RECRUITMENT!
The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe (Poland), Milan Šimečka Foundation (Slovakia) and the Anne Frank Centre (Germany) would like to invite teachers and educators from Poland, Slovakia and Germany to participate in an anti-discrimination education workshop which will take place in Krzyżowa on 24-27.04.2023.
For whom? How can you benefit from taking part in the workshop?
We live in an increasingly multicultural society. In everyday life, at school and at work, we meet different people, people with different opinions, raised in a different tradition or representing different social minorities. Perhaps you as a teacher also have young people with a migration or refugee background in your class. In any case the workshop will provide you with the tools and skills necessary to better understand and respond effectively to diversity in the classroom, but also to manifestations of discrimination. During the workshops we will also encourage you to explore the possibility to organise an international school exchange and create partnerships with teachers and educators from other countries. It will be an opportunity to work on the anti discrimination topic in an international setting.
This event is aimed at youth workers in non-formal education institutions and teachers from Poland, Germany and Slovakia who would like to receive professional support in organising the international school exchange and in responding effectively to the needs of young people by conducting anti-discrimination education. The international dimension of the workshop makes it possible to share experiences and good practices in different countries, which is why the workshop is conducted in English and a communicative level of use of this language by participants is required.

On 4-5 February 2023, the first meeting of the Artistic Council of the Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki Artistic Residency Programme took place in Krzyżowa.
Artistic Residency is a new, long-term project carried out by the Krzyzowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe together with 66P Subjective Cultural Institution from Wrocław. The aim of the programme is to run an international residency for socially engaged artists in Krzyzowa in the spirit of Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki's values. The programme is intended to serve international artistic exchange and promote a culture of dialogue and understanding. During the meeting, the Council not only worked out the details of the new programme, but also became acquainted with the historical heritage and activities of the Krzyzowa Foundation.
The Konrad and Paweł Jarodzki Artistic Residency Programme was established thanks to a donation from Renata and Rafał Jarodzki and Dorota Jarodzka-Śródka.
A Polish-German youth exchange between Wladyslaw Broniewski High School in Koszalin and Freiherr-vom-Stein-Schule from Rösrath lasted from 23.1.23 to 27.1. The exchange involved 30 students.
The exchange focused on topics related to first aid. On this occasion, the students were able not only to acquire the necessary knowledge of lifesaving, but on this occasion also to get to know better their peers from the neighboring country. On the last day of the exchange, participants worked together to create a creative and multithreaded short film about their experiences with the subject.
From January 23 to 27, 28 students from Henriette Breymann Comprehensive School and Zespół Szkół Techniczno-Ekonomicznych met for the first time for an exchange in Kreisau. First on the agenda were integration games, language animation and getting to know the history and place of Krzyżowa. In workshops, the participants dealt with the topic "Identity - European Identity" and, as an "activist group", chose social topics that were particularly relevant to them and worked on them in small international groups.
