We conduct studies on social and educational issues, we diagnose and pose questions to which we seek answers on the basis of the experience and knowledge of qualified researchers.
We conduct studies on social and educational issues, we diagnose and pose questions to which we seek answers on the basis of the experience and knowledge of qualified researchers.
We are the most prominent experts in Poland in the field of participatory research with children and youth. We conducted research involving over 1,000 children and 700 teenagers, both locally (in Wrocław) and in other cities (Warsaw, Kraków).
We carry out diagnostic and evaluation studies, both for the development strategies and typically scientific ones. We use quantitative and qualitative methods, based on participation and creative activities, which distinguishes us from other scientific entities. We conduct studies effectively and creatively, employing high standards and modern methodology.
We publish scientific materials, methodological toolkits. We use innovative, creative tools. We are the authors of several strategic scientific documents. We are currently conducting prestigious research on migrants in Wrocław on a sample of over 1,000 people.

Selected scientific achievements of our collaborators
We analyze how urban space, the system of education and social policy can be better (qualitatively, equally and inclusively) shared among all the city residents, regardless of gender, origin, age.

Diagnosis was commissioned by the Wrocław Municipality Board represented by the Mayor of the Wrocław Municipality. It was developed on the basis of data received from municipal authorities, public statistics data and material of the qualitative research conducted in the Wrocław Municipality.
Development strategy for the City of Kłodzko prepared by the Association.
In 2019, the partner city of Wrocław, Breda, gifted us one of the chairs they use in consultations with young people as an inspiration and aid in our activities. Hania Achremowicz adapted this idea by creating a chair notebook, which we used during the public consultations in Warsaw, consulting the youth policy of the City of Warsaw.

A publication summarizing and developing
the methodological aspects of the research and animation project implemented in six selected cities of Lower Silesia as part of the Lower Silesian Platform ECC 2016+.
The “Art of My Street” project was aimed at examining the relationship between the cultural activities of NGOs and individual artists, informal collectives and the policy of
local authorities in areas of the highest risk of exclusion and the living environment of the inhabitants.
A fascinating cognitive journey through Polish cities in search of traces of street art bombarded our minds with a wealth of messages. The project is implemented in
cooperation with the Center for Sustainable Development of the Wrocław Community of
the University of Wrocław.
The title of the book has two parts: it refers to the “tenement houses” and the process of “revitalization”. Individual chapters are introduced by unusual narrators – pre-war residential buildings. The information provided by them is reliable – it comes from construction archives and historical books. The tenement houses will tell us their stories and the stories of their inhabitants, guests and the surrounding area. However, this book is not only a story about the tenement houses of Przedmieście Odrzańskie, it is also a presentation of a model of a learning city, one which Wrocław must become, especially this part of it that is undergoing revitalization. The extreme emotion that this term evokes only stimulate learning. Conflict is a great educational opportunity, and in some perspectives (Mezirow, Kaminska) – a necessary impulse for development.
The authors of the book were guided by the search for discourses present in the urban space, often drowned out by dominant narratives. The book contains, among others, articles: by Katarzyna Kokot “The physically disabled and architecture, or a sketch about handicaps in space”, by Anna Maria Kucharska “Hide the unbelievers’ – religious minorities in the urban landscape of Wrocław”, and by Małgorzata Prokosz “Areas of marginalization of youth in a big city”.

Diagnosis related to the institutional development of the Association for Critical Education
Outlining the postulates regarding the model City of Children – including children in decision-making processes on matters that concern them. The authors present Janusz Korczak’s concept of self government as a model example of good practices. At the same time, they emphasize the vision of a child as competent and able to take responsibility. Referring to the practical examples from the field of school self- governing, they draw conclusions and form postulates, pointing to foreign examples and their own experiences. Including children in the democratic process is a challenge in the field of education – educating citizens who are aware of their rights and willing to participate in building the city is the actual goal of the City of Children.
