At the beginning of April a group of young people from the Silesian Mountain and Cologne came to Krzyżowa.
For the third time, young people learning to work as painters, roofers, IT specialists and logisticians will have the opportunity to get to know themselves and break stereotypes. There will also be time to learn both languages.
One of the main points of the programme will be the joint work of young people for the benefit of the centre in Krzyżowa. The effects of their work will be visible long after both groups go to their homes.

The theme of the meeting was ecology, climate change and sustainable development.
