Our team is made up of teachers, educators and therapists, although not only. Most of all, we are great friends. We like to think we have an original sense of humour, along with unlimited creativity and an endless enthusiasm for our work. We are proof that good relationships can have a good effect on the quality of work of our entire team. That’s us!
Our
Team
Damian Kupczyk
President of the Foundation. An interesting guy! Children’s therapist, educationalist, tutor. Nobody can match his ability to naturally transform difficult theoretical knowledge into simple language full of real-life anecdotes. Someone once said of him that he talks like a politician – and there may be something to this. Incredibly well-read and intelligent, he is also someone who will help anyone in any situation, wearing his heart on his sleeve. For him there is no problem that cannot be solved. Damian is the most colourful character of our team. A bald man with a beard – that’s him!
Working as an occupational therapist and personal budgeting trainer for adults with disabilities, Damian has many years of professional experience. As a child therapist, he has also been deeply involved in conducting sociotherapy to individuals, as well as supporting the development of pupils in primary schools.

Irena Ranosz-Talarek
Experience is her middle name! 35 years of working with children from grades 1-3 of primary school is quite an achievement. A real treasury of knowledge on the topics of development and education of children – these are her main areas of expertise and interest. Privately, a mother of two teenagers and a lover of ginger cats – Shrek and Fiona. Irena is also a lover of music and poetry – especially by Pawlikowska-Jasnorzewska.

Paweł Kaczmarczyk PhD
If a smile could be personalized, it would look just like Paweł! Eloquence, chic, commitment – all wrapped up in a cloak of endless calm. He is definitely the most peaceful member of the Foundation, although, as we all know, still waters…! Contacts, meetings, conferences – this is his whole world. Meet Paweł!

A jack of all trades! He organizes, supervises, and gets things done! Always reliable and responsible. He combines work and studies with tremendous flexibility – after all, he is a management student. We appreciate his energy, assertiveness, support, and composure. Privately, he is a lover of all kinds of physical activities, with a special passion for soccer. When he was a child, he declared that it was better to read a dictionary than books. We have a feeling that we have a very valuable newcomer developing in our team!
