General Information
The foundation acts since 2013but its members have been working in 'Cognosco' foundation before. During that time, we participated and organized many projects. We created project called 'Krakowski Oxford' which was financially supported by 'Youth in Action' agency. It was addressed to young people who wanted to improve their language skills and also enrich their knowledge about diverse fields of living in contemporary Europe (like democracy, environmental protection, human rights etc.). Many youths participated in that project which positively affects their knowledge and increased their chaces on the labour market. Our foundation created also legal advice center, where the lawyers (volunteers) advised in legal matters to imprecunious people. We also organized graphic workshops for children in difficult life situation and many other initiatives. We are interested in projects connected with sustainable development and ecology, education of youths, democratic' attitude dissemination, cultural integration and exchange. We currently have many partners in Europe, for example from Croatia, Hungary or Bosnia and Herzegovina. We have gained much experience since we worked. We have essential knowledge to run projects and to join other organizations in their initiatives. We have a headquarter in one of the biggest cities in Poland - Wrocław. We are planning to develop our activity next year by organizing some projects. One among the others will be bikes' travel across Europe in July which aim is to connect people with passion for bicycle' riding. In the meanwhile, we would like to organize some projects and participate in others (like non-formal education project in Thessaloniki). We are inviting for cooperation partners interested in organization projects connected with: -EU promotion and EU citizenship promotion -sustainable development and ecology -culture -language education -democracydissemination -non-formal education suport -out-school activietes -NGO support
Mission and Objectives

Main aim of the Foundation activity is non-formal education of the youths in different fields. We organize projects connected with: ecology and sustainable development, democracy dissemination, intercultural integration and youth exchange. Our activity is wider and has more interdisciplinary character than traditional school education. Knowledge is gained by experience which is implemented into normal life. Therefore, young people broaden the range not only of practical and theoretical knowledge but also increase their chances on the labour market.
