Thank you for these extraordinary days!

October was a week full of emotion, reflection, and genuine connection with people who prioritize the well-being of children and families above all else.

We hosted the premiere of Dr. Ben Furman’s book "Solution-Focused Parenting," a session at the Senate of the Republic of Poland, and the "Parenting Masters Breakfast"—events that brought together experts, practitioners, and representatives from institutions across the region.

Together, we discussed how to support parents and caregivers in building relationships based on understanding, cooperation, and finding solutions rather than assigning blame.

The presentation of certificates to the organizations co-creating the "Skillful Family" pilot program was a symbolic culmination of a shared journey—one defined by commitment, courage, and a belief in change.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who took part in these events—our attendees, speakers, partners, and patrons.

We offer special thanks to the institutions and individuals who joined us during these days, bringing their energy, empathy, and dedication to working with children and families:

Ben Furman, Halina Bieda, Joanna Sekuła, Anna Zasada-Chorab, Monika Rosa, the Ministry of National Education, Izabela Ziętka, the Ministry of Family, Labour and Social Policy, Aleksandra Gajewska, Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Neo Energy Group, Prof. Aldona Frączkiewicz-Wronka, and Anna Kwaśniewska
