Mariusz LewandowskiMar 91 minOur visit in the Orphanage in Pęchery with IFWThis 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
Mariusz LewandowskiMar 91 minThe third Live Your Life workshop with Teens Matter Program and SWPS studentsThis 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.

Mariusz LewandowskiMar 91 minOur image and the possibility to change - workshopWho 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

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.

It was a fantastic opportunity for us to express our emotions with crayons, markers and paints in all the colours of the rainbow.

Thanks to everyone who joined us that day ❤️ We are now loo

Mariusz LewandowskiMar 91 minOff 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

Sempruch on Love & IdentityM: 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?
