Project Report | Aug 12, 2025
60 reasons to be proud!

By Iwona Olkowicz | Project coordinator

- - -  English version below - - -

In June 2025, we hosted another edition of our Volunteering Film Festival, "Volunteering – that's what MOVIE is About."

This time, nearly 60 young people and their mentors joined us.

Together with five volunteer teams, we watched short films created by the youth and listened to their reflections on this year’s community projects. We heard what they accomplished, what they learned along the way, and how volunteering has impacted them personally. For us, the most powerful moments were their stories about the skills they gained and the joy and pride they felt through their volunteer work.

During the Festival, we wrapped up our friendly competition and presented awards to the volunteer groups. The prizes are financial – but here’s the twist: the teams must decide together how to spend them and how they want to celebrate their success. Through this, they practice communication, negotiation, and caring for the whole team.

From the new school year, we hope to expand our filmmaking workshops to more schools, giving young people the space to develop crucial social skills for the future: communication, empathy, creativity, resilience, and teamwork.

We need your help to make it happen!
We’d love to equip our volunteer groups with clip-on microphones and run filmmaking workshops so they can produce videos showcasing their community actions – and inspire more young people in the Mazury region to get involved.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

60 powodów do dumy!

W czerwcu 2025 zorganizowalismy kolejny Festiwal Filmików o Wolontariacie "Wolontariat – o tym sie MOVIE". Tym razem wzielo w nim udzial blisko 60 mlodych ludzi i ich opiekunow. 

Wspólnie z piecioma grupami wolontariuszy obejrzelismy filmiki przygotowane przez mlodziez i wysluchalismy ich wrazen z realizacji tegorocznych akcji spolecznych. Dowiedzielismy sie, co modziez zrobila, czego sie przy tym nauczyla i co im to osobiscie dalo. Dla nas najwazniejszymi wypowiedziami byly opowiesci, czego sie mlodziez nauczyla i co im dalo zaangazowanie w wolontariat.

Podczas Festiwalu rozstrzygnelismy grywalizacje i wreczylismy nagrody grupom wolontariackim. Nagrody maja charakter finansowy i maja byc przeznaczone na wspólne dzialania modziezy – grupy maja wspólnie uzgodnic na co przeznacza srodki i jak beda swietowac swój sukces. Dzieki temu ucza sie komunikatywnosci, negocjacji i dbalosci o cala druzyne.

Liczymy, ze od nowego roku szkolnego bedziemy mogli prowadzic zajecia filmowe w kolejnych szkolach i dawac modziezy przestrzen do rozwijania tak waznych kompetencji spolecznych przyszlosci: komunikacji, empatii, kreatywnosci, radzenia sobie w trudnych sytuacjach i pracy zespolowej.

Bardzo liczymy na Twoja pomoc, abysmy mogli doposazyc grupy wolontariackie w mikrofony krawatowe i abysmy mogli przeprowadzic zajecia filmowe, które pozwola mlodym realizowac materialy video z ich akcji spoecznych i promowac aktywnosc mazurskiej mlodziezy.
