Foundation for Freedom is a non-profit organization founded in Warsaw (Poland) in 2004. Its activities are addressed to people at risk of exclusion because of their origin (including refugees and migrants), skin color, religion, age, sex or sexual orientation. We work with children, adults and seniors.
Ethnoleague: Multicultural and sex-mixed football league and club for better integration of migrants and women to Polish society. We use football universal rules to teach fair play and anti-discrimination attitudes. We are an active member of the international Football Against Racism in Europe network, the official UEFA partner. We organize international seminars for experts, youth exchanges and workshops for teachers on the anti-discrimination methodologies in sport, and produce manuals.
Young refugees: Program for the young refugees in Warsaw. It is a support tool in the refugee center that aims to prepare them for school, social peer contacts and independent functioning in the future. We teach Polish language, help in homework, and develop different skills. We also run sport activities, excursions, and work individually with whole families.
Volunteering: We realize several projects of international volunteering and youth exchanges co-financed by Erasmus+. We work with dozens of organizations from across Europe, as well as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, China and Mexico among others. Together with several other organizations we run webside with open educationoal courses for volunteers.
T-shirt for Freedom: The aim of the campaign, which started in 2004, was to stimulate discussion on tolerance and minority rights in Poland. It is a solidarity gesture with groups discriminated because of their appearance, origin, sex, disease and other traits. T-shirts with slogans like I’m a lesbian, I’m unemployed, I was in prison, I am an Arab, I do not listen to the Pope revealed nationwide discussion. The campaign has been supported by Oliviero Toscani and dozens of important Polish politicians, artists and athletes. T-shirts were sold out to thousands of people, we also held many debates and exhibitions.
