I/ GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE TRAINING
 
1/ TRAINERS, PARTICIPANTS, TIMEFRAME, COURSE CREATORS
The bibliodrama course in Krzyżowa, which took place between August 2022 and November 2023, had an intercultural, interconfessional and interreligious character.
The cultural and historical context of the course was the very difficult past of German-Polish relations related especially to the Second World War.
It consisted of six modules: 08.2022; 10.2022; 03.2023; 06.2023; 09.2023; 11.2023.
In the second half of the course, supervision meetings on projects were scheduled as one of the requirements for the end of the course.
The course was designed by three leaders: Ewa Alfred (DE), Albert Heinz (DE) and Beata Chrudzimska (PL). Wolfgang Wesenberg (DE) was involved in the preparatory work from the beginning. After Albert Heinz resigned from the course, Wolfgang Wesenberg joined the team of leadership trainers.
The four modules lasted from Sunday evening until lunch on Friday. The June module ran from Friday evening until lunch on Sunday and the final module was a three-day convention dedicated to the final colloquium.
The group consisted of six people from Poland, two people from Germany and one person from Hungary.
The group was mixed in terms of religion, language and so-called status in the Catholic Church. There were three nuns in the group.
In the Polish group there were five Catholics and one Baptist. The German woman was Catholic and the German belonged to the Swedish (Lutheran) Church and lives in Malmö. One Polish woman has lived abroad for more than twenty years (currently in Switzerland). The participant from Hungary spoke both German and Polish to an excellent degree and had experience of living in both countries: Poland and Germany.

The age of the participants ranged from 27 to 57 years.
The description of the group participants shows that the group was very diverse.
Individuals represented a formed religious worldview and a mature identity in its national, spiritual and personality aspects.
A special feature of the group was the maturity of its participants, combined with a sense of their own distinctiveness, otherness and awareness of their emotional and spiritual needs in a multicultural and multireligious context. This was combined with marking their individual boundaries and demands on the trainers running the course.
