Project Report | Apr 17, 2026
Thank you for standing with us for children

By Anna Wozniak | Key Account Excecutive

Dear Donors, 

Recently, at the Academy of the Future, we have implemented numerous activities across multiple cities for students participating in our educational program. Stories from Biaystok, Kielce, Lublin, Olsztyn, and Zielona Góra demonstrate that a Child’s development does not happen solely within the classroom. It takes place through experience: during workshops, sporting events, and interactive meetings, where Children learned to collaborate, developed social skills, and built self-confidence. These events were not only a way of spending time but above all a space for building relationships, overcoming fears, and discovering one’s potential. At the Academy of the Future, such experiences form an essential element of support. They help Children believe in themselves and realize that they are capable of more than they initially think.

In parallel, meetings between students and their volunteer-mentors are ongoing. During one-on-one sessions, each pair works on strengthening the child’s confidence, addressing academic challenges, and uncovering previously hidden passions and talents.

We are genuinely transforming the life stories of Children who have stopped believing in themselves. One of these children is Ada, a nine-year-old who describes herself as “useless” because she constantly hears that something is wrong with her. She is shy, withdrawn, and has no close friends at school. Due to academic difficulties and lack of support, she repeated a school year, which further diminished her confidence and sense of purpose in learning. She needed someone to extend a helping hand. That someone was a Volunteer and the Academy of the Future.

Thanks to your support, our program remains active, and together we are changing the life stories of Children.

In the upcoming weeks of the school year, we will organize more inspiring events for children, conduct additional workshops, and continue monitoring sessions for students. These activities will allow Children to discover their passions, build meaningful relationships, and lay the foundations for well-being and self-worth.

Thank you for standing with us in supporting students through the Academy of the Future program.

Drodzy Darczyncy,

W ostatnim czasie w Akademii Przyszosci zrealizowalismy w wielu miastach liczne aktywnosci dla uczniów bioracych udzia w programie edukacyjnym. Historie z Biaegostoku, Kielc, Lublina, Olsztyna czy Zielonej Góry pokazuja, ze rozwój Dziecka nie dzieje sie wyacznie w szkolnej awce. To wasnie w dziaaniu: podczas warsztatów, wydarzen sportowych czy spotkan – Dzieci uczyy sie wspópracy, rozwijay kompetencje spoeczne i budoway pewnosc siebie. Wydarzenie byy zatem nie tylko sposobem na spedzenie czasu, ale przede wszystkim przestrzenia do budowania relacji, przeamywania leków i odkrywania wasnych mozliwosci. W Akademii Przyszosci takie doswiadczenia sa waznym elementem wsparcia. Pomagaja Dzieciom uwierzyc w siebie i zobaczyc, ze potrafia wiecej, niz im sie wydaje. 

Równolegle trwaja spotkania uczniów z ich mentorami- wolontariuszami. Na indywidualnych zajeciach pary pracuja nad budowa pewnosci siebie dziecka, rozwiazuja wyzwania szkolne i odkrywaja ukryte dotad pasje uczniów.

Realnie zmieniamy historie zycia Dzieci, które w siebie nie wierza. Jedna z nich jest Ada, która ma 9 lat i mówi tak o sobie, ze „jest beznadziejna”, bo ciagle syszy, ze cos z nia jest nie tak. Jest niesmiaa, zamknieta w sobie i nie ma w szkole nikogo bliskiego. Przez trudnosci w nauce i brak wsparcia, zostaa na drugi rok w tej samej klasie. Przez to jeszcze mniej wierzy w siebie i sens nauki. Potrzebowaa kogos, kto wyciagnie do niej pomocna don. Z pomoca przyszed Wolontariusz i Akademia Przyszosci.

Dzieki Wam nasz projekt moze dziaac i wspólnie zmieniamy historie zycie Dzieci.

Przed nami tygodnie roku szkolnego podczas których zorganizujemy kolejne wydarzenia inspirujace dla dzieci, warsztaty i bedziemy kontynuowac spotkania monitoringowe dla uczniów. Dzieki nim Dzieci beda odkryway swoje pasje, nawiazyway relacje i budoway podstawy swojego dobrostanu i pewnosci siebie.

Dziekujemy, ze razem z nami wspieracie uczniów w ramach programu Akademii.
