FMP Team

People forming the foundation

The strength and potential of our foundation is the people who have founded it and who cooperate with it. Among those who cooperate with the foundation are coordinators and former participants of the EVS.

In the team we also have psychologists and educators. There are people who every day write and implement the conclusions of the EU.

We all have experience of working with young people, some of us for many years, have been teachers and organizers or leaders of youth exchanges, custodians scout camps and other forms of recreation organized for young people and children.

We have been involved in the local life of the local community through membership in other associations and organizations for ages.

We try to gather around our Foundation people who are creative, open, and curious about the world. They often are students of Wroclaw universities, students of local schools, but also professionally active in local institutions. We have got support from seniors who feature plenty of time and experience, which they don’t want to waste by sitting idle at home.
