From 11th to 17th of May in Krzyżowa there is another Exchange of Expertise project. Participants were divided into four thematic groups, which deal with: work in wood, work in the garden, culinary workshops and photojournalism workshops. The carpentry group will deal with, among other things, making beehives at the House on the Hill, which will refer to those that stood there at the beginning of the 20th century. Freya von Moltke kept in beehives letters from her husband, Helmuth James, so that they would not fall into the wrong hands.
Exchange of Expertise is an international workshop with the participation of young people from Poland and Germany. Their aim is intercultural integration. What distinguishes him from other projects is the fact that integration, dialogue and mutual acquaintance are realized in practical classes, during which professional skills of the participants are used.

is a project for high-school students from Poland, Croatia and Germany on the role of women in the past and present.
During the project young people throw light on the topic of the secondariness of women’s role in post-war historiography. The example of women in resistance movements against National-Socialism during the Second World War lends a good starting point for such investigations. The participants get familiar with the biographies, letters and memories of the female members of resistance groups and this way will learn more about the inhuman Nazi regime. Interviews with women who were part of resistance during the Second World War or female relatives as well as with women who are active in resistance nowadays help deepen the knowledge about the lives of these women. Furthermore, the students critically examine the role of women in their national historiographies, as well as how and in which situations women experience discrimination nowadays. The young participants will get familiar with filming and interviewing during a film and interview training. They produce their own short movies that will help them to deepen the newly gained knowledge and present it to a broad audience.

We have just finished another meeting of young people from the Marshal Józef Piłsudski Public Primary School in Jedlnia Letnisko with the students of Marion-Dönhoff-Gymnasium from Mölln. Days spent in Krzyżowa were a great opportunity to learn about the history of this unique place, get to know peers from another country better and discuss issues related to the ethics of digital media and courage on the Internet.

On 25 April 2019 a conference opening this year's edition of the project "Tradition unites generations" took place in Krzyżowa. It was informative, funny, and sometimes also moving.
This first meeting with the participants was to a large extent informative and organizational, but also created an opportunity to get to know the Organizers and Seniors participating in the project.
The conference also included a lecture by Dr. Tomasz Skonieczny (European Academy of the "Krzyżowa" Foundation), thanks to which the participants deepened their knowledge about the history of Krzyżowa. There was also a meeting with a representative of the Police and a lawyer - it provided the Seniors with important information on how to effectively take care of their safety.
For the needs of the project, a subpage has been launched, on which up-to-date information and announcements concerning the implemented and planned activities will be posted on a regular basis.
