The Jewish Community Centre of Krakow (JCC) was officially opened in April 2008
by HRH, The Prince of Wales in response to a request made to him by the Jewishcommunity during his visit to Krakow in 2002. In its few short years, the JCC hasmanaged to achieve what many thought impossible - it has shown to the world thatJewish life in Krakow is not just a thing of the past, but very much of the present.Located in the heart of Kazimierz, the JCC provides Krakow's growing Jewishcommunity with a space to meet and share ideas in a warm atmosphere, whereeveryone is welcome.A committed team of enthusiastic staff and volunteers works all year round at theJCC to build our community and engage with Jews and non-Jews from allbackgrounds. While we recognize the need to honor the memory of the Holocaust,our hope is that visitors will also have the opportunity to experience contemporary
Jewish life in Krakow, whose vibrancy stands as a living testament to the power ofrevival and the resilience of the Jewish spirit!The JCC has all the professional equipment for organizing conferences and all kindsof meetings. It is also possible to order kosher catering.The Centre is a place that allows various groups and their representatives to meetpeople of all ages, including children and their families. Inhabitants of Cracow andtourists for example, gather on a weekly basis during Sabbath dinners held on Fridayevenings. Everyone has the opportunity to take part in the fruition of our religious,educational and community projects.

Meeting with Jose Blas, president of DYA Castro Urdiales during the Team Spirit seminar.
DYA was born as a non-profit organization more tan forty-five years ago in
Basque Country. It was created by two reasons: the lack of a public
ambulance service, and the lack of interest of drivers to help the others when
an accident happened. In fact, DYA means Detente y Ayuda, that could be
translated to English as Stop and Help.
Nowadays, DYA has organizations all around Spain (Basque Country,
Cantabria, Andaluca, Extremadura, Catalonia, La R ioja, Galicia, Murcia, tec).These organizations are independent from each others, although they sharethe same values and ideas. They work in different areas most of them focused
to the disable people: Mobility, Accesibility, Counseling, International
humanitarian and aid to developing countries, Integration, and Training and
Education.

Its truly interesting for us the fact nobody is employed in the organization, otherwiseall the staff work in their free time in order to develop what they call the Project oftheir dreams. This is a good example of adult education and how to enjoy doing thethings that you like to do.

Youth Organization Control was established in 2011 by a group of youngsters who
decided to take on the work of the defunct organization LFA (Asociacin LdicaFlavibriga) and organize journeys and boarding games events.

after they organized a national conference for four days in the month of August withthe aim of promoting their organization nationwide.
Control meets in the Youth Area of Castro Urdiales, where they tend to play boarding
games and ramble about future projects. They strongly believe that the organization
works as a meeting point for people who like playing boarding games, reading comic-
books, collection miniatures, and other alternative hobbies, as well as making friends,
painting mandalas, and sharing books and guides.
They have met the Castro Urdialess major and some councilors recently, because

AGENDA 21
The visit to Mission Local, part of Agenda 21 was interesting, talking about how
recycling and the different workshops that are offered in Massy. However, the triple
translation, French, English and Turkish was very time consuming and there wasnt
enough time to explain everything as properly as it could have been possible.
Agenda 21 is a United Nations agreement in order to promote sustainable
development, adopted at the United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development (UNCED) hosted in Rio de Janeiro from 3 to June 14, 1992. This
agreement was signed with the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development
and the Statement of principles on forests. The program is a detailed plan of actions
to be developed at national and local levels, by UN entities, governments of its
member states and private groups in all major areas occurring human impacts on the
environment atmosphere.
Spanish participants listen carefully.

FUNDATION DAUTEIL
The visit to this foundation was, at least for the Spanish participants in this seminar, the mostinteresting of all the visits in the program. Several presentations of various associations such
as the own foundation were done. The Spanish and Turkish organizations that take part in
the seminar also were presented.
Despite being a catholic foundation, they work with a target group from many religions, and
they dont mind if the others are Jewish, Muslims, Hinduisms, etc. They also provide trainingcourses in order to help people with fewer opportunities to get a job. By doing so, people
without economic resources can get an opportunity and learn about hotel trade, cookery, etc.
After these presentations we ended up having a truly interesting debate about the teaching
of the subject Religion at schools, and how this is ran at our countries. Because of the lackof time, we couldnt debate as deeply as we would like.
