Who WE are?

We are “Generations Foundation”, an
energetic, 13 year old, NGO that works

on behalf of civil society, youth and other

organizations. We are based in Tczew-Poland.

Our actions focus on two main areas: supporting the youth alongside NGO’s and informal groups. We conduct training courses, meetings and seminars. We work as a Centre for the NGOs, supporting local initiatives also by conducting two big grant programmes. We build, help and support local communities and leaders not only in our city but also in the rural regions.

The second main area of our activities is helping the youth through various and innovative actions. We combine many tools like three scholarship programmes and many European Union projects supporting socially excluded youth and young people endangered by social exclusion. Both groups come from relegated area of Tczews Old Town or structurally weak areas of Tczew County.

In our Team we have a street-art artist running our serigraphy and appropriable crafts workshop, where young people can create something on their own. We also assist in the time of need for the youth providing a place where they can stay during emergencies. We also have a group of streetworkers and partyworkers taking care of the young in the clubs and on the street.

Non-formal education is always present in our actions, when it comes to projects, initiatives and youth activities. We encourage different forms of learning, typically by praxis, believing that young people can achieve better effects through hands-on approach. Trainings, workshops, communication and self-development – these are areas that we actively support.

Local Amnesty International group is operating within our organization, organizing events like Letter Writing Marathon, Watch Docs movie festival and other initiatives defending human rights and making sure young people know and care about the issue. By these actions, including youth exchange programmes, and study visits, we also support important multicultural angle of our youth actions.

We also promote active citizenship and political life, by permanently taking part in “Masz Gł os, Masz Wybó r” programme. One of organizations that we are incubating is Volunteer Centre Foundation. We are cooperating during the events, crowd animation and many, many initiatives.
