About the Foundation<\/h2>\n

The Understanding Foundation was established in 2016. The founder was Aleksandra Mykowska – a social psychologist and expert in the field of social media. adult education. Soon after, Monika \u015aled\u017a-Pacheco – a specialist in writing and project management, Ewelina Laprus – a social media man and organizer of all kinds of events, and Ela Wasil – a business psychologist and content manager joined.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the initial period, the Foundation dealt exclusively with topics related to multiculturalism and multilingualism among children and adults, promoting communication in the language of the heart and the use of understanding and kindness towards oneself and others. Organizing activities and events for mixed families living in Krakow. However, over time, we became interested in the topic of mental well-being, implementing programs supporting both parents, educators and teachers in building their internal mental resilience, which allows them to react effectively in difficult and stressful situations in everyday life. And since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, we have also been supporting refugee families and their children. <\/span><\/p>\n

In order for our organization to be able to achieve its mission, we are looking for specialist knowledge, good practices and methods at the highest global level in line with current trends, research and knowledge. We conduct research and evaluation of educational programs ourselves to provide educational materials at the highest level.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Understanding Foundation creates educational materials, conducts workshops, stationary and remote courses, trainings and classes on topics related to building mental well-being and supporting mental resilience in private and professional life. <\/span><\/p>\n
