ST. HEDWIG FOUNDATION

WHAT WE DO

About the Foundation

It was established in order to implement actions to build a peaceful Europe, based on formal and informal education, with an emphasis on artistic, historical and political education, including people with disabilities.

The goal of the Foundation is educational activity, supporting civic, cultural and educational initiatives, especially those aimed at understanding between nations, generations and European integration, as well as the formation of a civic society. We implement them, among others by running a kindergarten and the Morawa International Meeting Center, as well as by implementing educational projects for the local community and people of senior age.
