On 14-18 October 2019 children and youth from Montessori schools in Wrocław and Bad Toelz met in Krzyżowa in order to get to know each other, develop their competences and discuss topics connected to global and ecological education.

The participants aged between 9 and 16 took up challenges during outdoor education workshops, gave new life to trash creating recycled instruments and learnt how global economy works during “Banana game” simulation. The important part of the programme was also discovering the history of Krzyżowa and the culmination of the project was the hike and the campfire at the top of Wielka Sowa mountain.

Workshops in the "Good food from nearby" project - Wrocław, Krzyżowa, Stoszów, IX - X 2019 (PHOTO)

The Krzyżowa Foundation is holding the second and third series of workshops on sustainable food within the framework of the project: "Good food from nearby". The brave moderators: Franek, Jagna and Natasza do not give up in their coaching battles and carry out new activities in the spirit of peer education.

During the last three meetings we discussed important topics with students of Montessori Non-public Primary School: environmental costs and resources needed to produce food, wasting food in the world and in our homes and ways to reduce it. We also had the opportunity to actively experience the issues: we cooked from leftovers in the workshop kitchen in Krzyżowa and visited the ecological farm "Ekolomia" in Stoszów.
