eScouts

 ABOUT US

The consortium consists of eight partners who have different but complementary expertise, work experiences and in different areas of influence nationally and internationally. The Consortium is an excellent blend of experience and skills related to education and learning with the two principle target groups, research and development, work with marginalized groups, communication and dissemination of culture. The skill-set of the participating organizations allows them to successfully carry out their work, not only individually, but also because of their prior experience of working together in other partnership projects. The work plan is appropriately balanced with regard to tasks and division of labor, according to the profiles of the organizations. Thanks to the hard work of the partnership network, the dissemination and transfer project results to other groups is ensured.

The Foundation was established in 1992 with the support from the International Youth Foundation. We are a non-profit organization and we do not carry out economic activity. Our financial resources come mainly from grants and contributions received from institutions and individuals. Our aim is to stimulate comprehensive development of children and youth aged between 5 and 20 years. We wish to help in raising a new generation of responsible and creative people, who actively build their own lives and local community, and thus, the future of our country and of the whole world. We want to be present everywhere where individuals and organizations caring for children and youth need financial, organizational and educational support or else, where they need a liaison with institutions and organizations in Poland and abroad. We award financial grants and organize training courses for representatives of local authorities and non-governmental organizations or leaders of informal youth groups, as well as conferences and seminars which discuss their problems. We carry out training programs for primary and maternal school teachers which teach them new methods or working with young people. From 1992 until the end of 2009 we have awarded 4219 grants of a total of PLN 41,645,600. Each year, we help over 200,000 children and young people.
