Polish-German youth meeting Piotrków Trybunalski-Hildesheim - Krzyżowa, 25-29 May 2019 (PHOTOS)

On 25-29 May we hosted a group of young people from Piotrków Trybunalski and Hildesheim in Krzyżowa. Once again schools came to the International Youth Meeting Center in Krzyżowa. This year, the schools came in a smaller group of thirty students.

During the project, young people learned about the history of the Kreisau Circle, learned from each other and learned their languages through language animations. Students also worked in smaller groups. They learned how to cooperate with each other, but also how they influence, through their behaviour, what happens in other regions of the world (elements of global education).

Schools that participate in the project: St. - Augustinus - Schule from Hildesheim and from the Secondary School Complex No. 1 in Piotrków Trybunalski.
