Our visit in the Orphanage in Pęchery with IFW

This year, just before Christmas, together with International Friends of Warsaw, we visited the orphanage in Pęchery. Smaller and bigger children met with our international families from Brazil, Spain, Portugal and US and together we made Christmas decoration. We also brought many presents sponsored by the families and thus everyone had a great time despite the fact that the place was almost overcrowded with so many of us and so many children . But the magic of the upcoming C

The third Live Your Life workshop with Teens Matter Program and SWPS students

This time, the main theme was "story-telling" :) Our first task was to draw a situation that had a positive impact on our mood, something good that happened to us recently. Later, by contrast, we drew situations that made us sad, made us feel bad and also presented a problem that we had to solve. The most interesting part of the workshop was to turn into the actual heroes of our stories and to identify with the problems that the story contained within itself <3 ️ We would lik

Our second Live Your Life workshop

After the first workshop we get to know each other so well that we felt at ease and had a great time talking to each other. ️<3 After an initial moment of reflection, we began to discuss situations in which we had to face a challenge: about people who made us do things we disliked and how we managed to deal with that. We also had the opportunity to use our imagination and bring these situations into a completely different reality. It was wonderful to listen to so many amazing

Our image and the possibility to change - workshop

Who am I? How do I see as myself and how do others perceive me? During the workshop, we had the opportunity not only to answer to these questions but also to exchange observations and compliments about our favourite self-portraits. We also had a moment to get used to the opinion of others. On the other hand, what makes the image of other people anxious, annoying and unattractive to us? Is there any special reason why we react this and not other way to certain images of peo

Teens Matter Program at the Science Festival at SWPS university

Did you know that falling in love takes one-fifth of a second or that sexual desire is more than just a basic thrive? That facial similarity between people in love increases over time? That it’s the little things that make the biggest difference? But love can be still so much more. This year, during the SWPS Science Festival, we had the opportunity to listen to Paweł Czochański's and Justyna Szachowicz-Sempruch on the subject of whether A.I. is capable of love, or whether is

Intuitive Painting Workshop

On Wednesday, March 6, at our Foundation, we had the pleasure to participate in the intuitive painting workshop together with SWPS students. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to express our emotions with crayons, markers and paints in all the colours of the rainbow. Whether we have painted before or have tried our artistic talents for the first time, 😊 we all got to know ourselves better and each other as well. Thanks to everyone who joined us that day ❤️ We are now loo

On Love and Close Relations today

An expert in love and family studies, Justyna Szachowicz-Sempruch, was a speaker at the Close Relations Conference in Uppsala, one of the leading academic research centres in Sweden. Her presentation, within the subject of (Resisting) Family Forms, discussed Emotional Sustainability and the Socio-Political Meanings of Love. Justyna’s lecture provided new insights into critical family and kinship studies. In a time marked by migration and mobility, neoliberalism and the ri

Off to Brussels!

Sweden, France and Finland have overall achieved the greatest gender balance in political, economic and social areas in the EU-28. While Poland is by far not reaching such equality levels, its ranking is above Hungary, Greece, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the Member States that have the most masculinised representation in political, economic and social decision-making. Obviously the quotas without a genuinely diverse political agenda do not lead to progress towards equali

Skąd się bierze zakochanie? Rozmowa M. Dąbrowskiej z J. Sempruch on Love & Identity

M: Justyno, w tym semestrze prowadzisz zajęcia na temat pojęcia miłości w relacjach i świecie, i w związku z tym, mam pytanie: Powiedz mi, czym jest dla Ciebie zakochanie? J: Zakochanie to początek przywiązania się do kogoś, czegoś... czyli, według wielu filozofii, podstawowa przyczyna cierpienia jednostki w świecie. Jednocześnie, zakochanie jest jednym z najbardziej cudownych stanów emocjonalnych, które przeżywamy. Przeżywa je każdy, bez wyjątku, również osoby z różnymi zabu
