35 years of the treaty on good neighbourliness: Krzyżowa organisations put cooperation into practice

To mark the 35th anniversary of the German-Polish Neighborhood Treaty, the Kreisau organisations – the Polish Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe and its German partners, the Kreisau-Initiative e.V. and the Freya von Moltke Foundation for the New Kreisau – are starting a joint media campaign.

The story of a campaign: “Young Changemaker”

In a social media campaign for the Up2Youth project, young people from different European countries share what matters to them. Project manager Eva Kell offers a brief, personal insight into the campaign and what it aims to make visible.

Contemporary History & Human Rights

Model International Criminal Court (MICC)

How does the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague actually work? Who decides on cases involving human rights violations there? The Model International Criminal Court (MICC) project provides answers to these questions. And more than that: it lets you experience exactly that first-hand.

Socio-Ecological Transformation

Facts for Future

You’re scrolling through your feed: a short video, a comment, a hashtag like #climatescam. Suddenly, there it is: the claim that climate change isn’t caused by humans after all. Posts like these spread rapidly. And that’s exactly what makes them dangerous.

Inclusion

Building Bridges

Sometimes we think that differences such as language, background, or physical characteristics separate us from one another. Yet often, all it takes is one encounter to realise how much connects us. The Building Bridges project series shows how: its projects bring together young people from across Europe, with and without disabilities, and with different life experiences and backgrounds.
