Mission of Foundation
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world
Nelson Mandela
The Foundation was born out of the belief that education – that is: knowledge, competences and skills – enables positive change and development of societies. Each individuals can be a creator of these changes and development, because the resources of knowledge and competencies lie in each person. However, not everyone can take advantage of these opportunities, as not everyone has equal opportunities in accessing education and its benefits..
The foundation was established for children, families and single people, deprived of equal opportunities, experiencing exclusion in various spheres of life, exploited and economically weak.
Recognizing that education can be a source of positive change when it is desirable, accessible and adequate – the goal of the Foundation's activities is:
Firstly, education to education:
- promoting knowledge as a value and resorce
- motivating to give and receive education
Secondly, opening up and increasing access to education:
- adjusting education to the needs and possibilities of people
- disarming /eliminating factors that hinder / preclude education
Thirdly, sustaining change and creating new opportunities:
- long-term support (and monitoring) of the achieved educational results
- promoting and implementing innovative methods of education
Through education, we would like to (i.a.):
To initiate and sustain change in the lives of individuals and families
Develop human resources for individual and social change
Equalizing the chance and increase the quality of life
Counteract social exclusion and discrimination
According to our statute, the Foundation pursues its goals by:
a) conducting, organizing and financing the education of various social groups,
b) conducting research in the field of social policy,
c) publishing books and magazines devoted to social policy,
d) production of films and television programs on social issues,
e) the operation of social websites,
f) organization of conferences and lectures on social policy,
g) funding financial awards and scholarships,
h) financial support for projects aimed at the development of various social groups,
i) evaluation and monitoring of the organization's activities in the field of education and social development.
The whole purpose of education is to turn mirrors into windows
