The Community of the Cross of Nails (CCN) has been awarding with the symbolic "Cross of Nails" to organisations involved in reconciliation work for nearly 60 years. By then, more than 160 active centres of the Coventry Cross had been established. The Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe is the first institution in Poland to receive the Cross and become a member of the World Community of the Cross of Coventry. In November 2000 a representative of the British community from Coventry, Pastor Joachim von Kölichen, presented the Cross in the presence of guests from countries, friends and employees of the Foundation.
