The only constant is change, so we are circling our wagons and starting Autumn with power and hope, launching more programs, scientific papers and an educational platform for teachers.
Thanks to the newest report, Young Values, prepared together with the Citi Handlowy Foundation and researchers from the Adam Mickiewicz University, we gained knowledge how to help the young generation to enter the world of technology and sustainable development.
Together with our Partners we are supporting Ukraine and its intellectual capital, we help this year’s high school graduates to start in their STEM studies, we encourage the young women dreaming about careers in gamedev, and we provide technological education to children from villages and small towns with the help of our volunteers.
We are working for the change!
Join us :)
Launch of the Young Values. What Kind of World does the Part of the Z Generation representing the area of ICT and STEM want? report
Modern young people want a world characterised by professional stability (work contract), possibility of development and use of new technologies; a world that is ecologically sustainable, free from discrimination, and allowing to combine a career (not just in the Polish job market, but in the European one) with the household duties and private life.
At the same time this generation is socially and civically passive, convinced they have no influence over reality and of no power in the available tools for rebuilding the world, such as protests, voting, NGO activity – so we can read in the newest report by the Perspektywy Education Foundation and the Citi Handlowy Leopold Kronenberg Foundation, Young Values. What Kind of World does the Part of the Z Generation representing the area of ICT and STEM want?. This unique publication is a comparative analysis of the opinions and beliefs held by young men and women about the modern world and was created in cooperation with the researchers from the A. Mickiewicz University in Poznań: prof. UAM Dr hab. Iwona Chmura-Rutkowska and Dr Agnieszka Kozłowska.

New scholarship programme for first-year female STEM students We know that starting adult life and commencing studies in a new city can be a challenge for any young person, especially now, when life costs grow day by day. Therefore, to equalise the chances in access to technological higher education, we have launched a new scholarship programme for girls who will start studying at a technical university, or a STEM faculty in a regular university, in October 2022. |
Girls will enter the game for the second time! Girls in the Game! Is the first Polish scholarship and mentoring programme for women in gaming and gamedev, addressed to girls from every type of high school, particularly to candidates from smaller towns. Within it the young women will take part in a one-year training in video games creation, receive individual mentoring care from specialist from the CD PROJEKT RED studio, along with 12-months financial support intended to cover the costs of education and development. Recruitment for the second edition of this unique programme will start on 6 September and last until 30 October! |
PLN 2.5 million – Smart Future of Ukraine!
We believe that advanced digital competences, new technologies, and female STEM talents are hope for Ukraine. Together with our Partners, we have already invested over PLN 2.5 million in Ukraine’s wise future and intellectual capital. With these resources we are conducting a financial aid programme for Ukrainian students in Polish technical universities. Finally, aid in the amount of PLN 1000/student will be provided to 1500 persons (we are halfway through the distribution). The benefactors here are Amazon, Natwest, and Goldman Sachs – we would like to thank them very sincerely for engaging in this! And here is the LIST of participating universities:
Together with Circkle K and Palantir we have also provided support directly to two Ukrainian universities located in the battle zone – the Technical University of Kiyv and Dnipro University of Technology.
For this Autumn we have planned a new scholarship programme from Ukrainian women studying STEM-related subjects at Polish universities: “New Technologies for Women – Ukraine/ Future of Ukraine!,” created jointly with Intel Poland. Within it, 50 Ukrainian students and PhD students studying technical subjects and sciences at Polish universities will receive grants in the amount of PLN 20,000/recipient, technical training and care from student buddies. Thanks to this support there is a chance that new Ukrainian young women will start studying technology in Poland and this way they will be able to support themselves! IMPORTANT! Recruitment for the programme will last until 10 September!
