About the local hosting organization

The Krzyzowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe with its International Youth Meeting Center, Memorial Site and European Academy is a politically independent, non-profit organisation. It has experience in the field of non-formal education for more than 25 years. Because of the history of the Krzyzowa estate that the foundation calls home (the Kreisau Circle, a German resistance group against Hitler met there three times in 1942/43), it has high expertise especially in political and historical projects of non-formal education. Topics like resistance, international relations, civil society development and Europe are at the centre of the work in this area. Krzyżowa has also a lot of experience in the realization of various art and sustainability projects. We believe that the best way to live in the present and plan for the future lies in taking personal responsibility for our societies' political, social and ecologically balanced development. We organize bi- and multilateral youth exchange programs, conferences, art and inclusion projects, fostering encounter and education. The foundation aims to support a peaceful and tolerant existence of nations, social groups, and individuals. The Krzyzowa Foundation takes the idea of varied people meeting one another as the basis for the development and support of the civil society in Europe. It builds bridges between the past and the present, between Western and Eastern Europe and promotes the dialogue between generations. The International Youth Meeting Center in 2020 received the 2019 Altiero Spinelli Prize awarded by the European Commission as a recognition of outstanding activities that promote understanding of the European Union as an integration project and its values.

Presentation of the program

"Be the change" is the motto of six young Europeans who within a framework of the annual volunteer programme will support the educational projects of the International Youth Meeting Centre in Krzyżowa. The activities of the volunteers will contribute to providing children, young people and adults the history of Krzyżowa, to stimulate and promote activities aimed at consolidating peace and mutual tolerance marked coexistence of nations, social groups and individuals, and acting on behalf of the European agreement in relation to the spiritual heritage of the Circle of Krzyżowa. The volunteers will expand their knowledge, gain key skills, learn a new culture and a foreign language and gain a multi-dimensional experience. This year there will be a lot of work in the permaculture garden which is one of the biggest projects.
