On 03-08.12.2023, schoolchildren from Cottbus and Dobrzyn Wielki met in Krzyzowa to get to know each other and their cultures together. The students took part in language animation, history and group-building workshops. The group also went on a trip to Swidnica and Wroclaw. The young people spent a great week, building new friendships and developing their knowledge of Poland and Germany, and thanks to the beautiful winter weather, we were able to organize ski races in the snow!
The project was co-financed by funds from the Polish-German Youth Cooperation
