The Association of the Friends of Krzyżowa became into being in the beginning of the ninetees to support the meeting centres work. It wants to contribute to peace, understanding and encounter of people with different experinces and backgrounds to reduce antagonism and enmity amongst different nations. A special emphasis is put on nations considered as enemies with a history of mutual conflicts such as poles and germans or poles and lemkowians (an east-slavic ethnic group). Therefore, the association visits schools, organises extracurricular meetings, journeys to Krzyżowa and talks on political questions and projects in cooperation with the Krzyżowa Foundation (like the ceremonis in honor of the 100th birthday of Helmuth James von Moltke in Wrocław). There is a representative of the association in the Foundations council. |
